Two point charges A and B, having charges +Q and −Q respectively, are placed at certain distance apart and force acting between them is F. If 25% charge of A is transferred to B, then force between the charges becomes: ?

Two metal spheres, one of radius R and the other of radius 2R respectively have the same surface charge density σ. They are brought in contact and separated. What will be the new surface charge densities on them ?

Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is - e, the other is (e + ∆e). If the net of electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance d (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then ∆e is of the order of [Given mass of hydrogen mh = 1.67 × 10−27 kg ] ?

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths l, are initially at a distance d(d ≪ l) apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity v. Then v varies as a function of the distance x between the spheres, as: ?

Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length. The equilibrium separation between them is r. Now the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now become ?

A charge ’ q ’ is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges ’ Q ’. The system of the three charges will be in equilibrium if ’ q ’ is equal to ?

Two metallic spheres of radii 1 cm and 3 cm are given charges of −1 × $10^{−2}$C and 5 × $10^{−2}$C, respectively. If these are connected by a conducting wire, the final charge on the bigger sphere is ?
