Two identical charged particles each having a mass $10 \,g$ and charge $2.0 \times 10^{-7}\,C$ area placed on a horizontal table with a separation of $L$ between then such that they stay in limited equilibrium. If the coefficient of friction between each particle and the table is $0.25$, find the value of $L$.[Use $g =10\,ms ^{-2}$ ]..........$cm$
Coulomb's law for electrostatic force between two point charges and Newton's law for gravitational force between two stationary point masses, both have inverse-square dependence on the distance between the charges and masses respectively.
$(a)$ Compare the strength of these forces by determining the ratio of their magnitudes $(i)$ for an electron and a proton and $(ii)$ for two protons.
$(b)$ Estimate the accelerations of electron and proton due to the electrical force of their mutual attraction when they are $1 \mathring A \left( { = {{10}^{ - 10}}m} \right)$ apart? $\left(m_{p}=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \,kg , m_{e}=9.11 \times 10^{-31}\, kg \right)$
Two equal charges of magnitude $Q$ each are placed at a distance $d$ apart. Their electrostatic energy is $E$. A third charge $-Q / 2$ is brought midway between these two charges. The electrostatic energy of the system is now
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
Three points charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side $L$ as shown in the figure.
