Two similar spheres having $ + \,q$ and $ - \,q$ charge are kept at a certain distance. $F$ force acts between the two. If in the middle of two spheres, another similar sphere having $ + \,q$ charge is kept, then it experience a force in magnitude and direction as

  • A

    Zero having no direction

  • B

    $8F$ towards $ + \,q$ charge

  • C

    $8F$ towards $ - \,q$ charge

  • D

    $4F$ towards $ + \,q$ charge

Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges $ + 10\,\mu C$ and $ - 20\,\mu C$ respectively and placed at a distance $R$ from each other experience force ${F_1}$. If they are brought in contact and separated to the same distance, they experience force ${F_2}$. The ratio of ${F_1}$ to ${F_2}$ is

Two identical metallic spheres $A$ and $B$ when placed at certain distance in air repel each other with a force of $F$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is first placed in contact with $A$ and then in contact with $B$ and finally placed at midpoint between spheres $A$ and $B$. The force experienced by sphere $C$ will be.

Two identical spheres each of radius $R$ are kept at center-to-center spacing $4R$ as shown in the figure. They are charged and the electrostatic force of interaction between them is first calculated assuming them point like charges at their centers and the force is also measured experimentally. The calculated and measured forces are denoted by $F_c$ and $F_m$ respectively.
($F_c$ and $F_m$ denote magnitude of force)

Three points charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side $L$ as shown in the figure.
