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
$F/4$
$3F/4$
$F/8$
$3F/8$
Why Coulombian force is called two body force ?
Electric charges of $1\,\mu C,\, - 1\,\mu C$ and $2\,\mu C$ are placed in air at the corners $A$, $B$ and $C$ respectively of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ having length of each side $10 \,cm$. The resultant force on the charge at $C$ is......$N$
Two spherical, nonconducting, and very thin shells of uniformly distributed positive charge $Q$ and radius d are located a distance $10d$ from each other. A positive point charge $q$ is placed inside one of the shells at a distance $d/2$ from the center, on the line connecting the centers of the two shells, as shown in the figure. What is the net force on the charge $q $ ?
Assertion : Consider two identical charges placed distance $2d$ apart, along $x-$ axis. The equilibrium of a positive test charge placed at the point $O$ midway between them is stable for displacements along the $x-$ axis.
Reason: Force on test charge is zero
The plates $S$ and $T$ of an uncharged parallel plate capacitor are connected across a battery. The battery is then disconnected and the charged plates are now connected in a system as shown in the figure. The system shown is in equilibrium. All the strings are insulating and massless. The magnitude of charge on one of the capacitor plates is: [Area of plates = $A$]
