Two spherical conductors $B$ and $C$ having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force $F$ when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor having same radius as that of $B$ but uncharged is brought in contact with $B$, then brought in contact with $C$ and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between $B$ and $C$ is

Two identical positive charges $Q$ each are fixed at a distance of ' $2 a$ ' apart from each other. Another point charge qo with mass ' $m$ ' is placed at midpoint between two fixed charges. For a small displacement along the line joining the fixed charges, the charge $q_{0}$ executes $SHM$. The time period of oscillation of charge $q_{0}$ will be.

Force of attraction between two point charges $Q$ and $-Q$ separated by $d\,$ metre is ${F_e}$. When these charges are placed on two identical spheres of radius $R = 0.3\,d$ whose centres are $d\,$ metre apart, the force of attraction between them is
