Important Questions on Forces Between Multiple Charges

EASY
IMPORTANT

The charge on two spheres are +7 μC and -5 μC respectively. They experience a force F. If each of them is given an additional charge of -2 μC, then the new force of attraction will be

EASY
IMPORTANT

Three equal charges, each having a magnitude of 2.0×10-6C, are placed at the three corners of a right angled triangle of side 3cm, 4cm and 5cm. The force (in magnitude) on the charge at the right angled corner is

EASY
IMPORTANT

Three identical charges each 2μC lie at the vertices of a right-angled triangle as shown in the figure. Forces on the charge at B due to the charges at A and C respectively are F1 and F2. The angle between their resultant force and F2 .

Two point charges +3 μC and +8 μC repel each other with a force of 40 N. If a charge of  5 μC is added to each of them, then the force between them will become -

EASY
IMPORTANT

Two equal and opposite charges are placed at a certain distance. The force between them is F. If 25% of one charge is transferred to other, then the force between them is -

EASY
IMPORTANT

A point charge +Q is placed at the centroid of an equilateral triangle. When a second charge +Q is placed at a vertex of the triangle, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the central charge is 4 N . What is the magnitude of the net force on the central charge when a third charge +Q is placed at another vertex of the triangle?

EASY
IMPORTANT

If two like charges of magnitude 1×10-9 coulomb and 9×10-9 coulomb are separated by a distance of 1 m, then the point on the line joining the charges, where the force experienced by a charge placed at that point is zero, is:

EASY
IMPORTANT

The force of interaction between two charges q1=6μC and q2=2μC is 12 N. If charge q=-2μC is added to each of the charges, then the new force of interaction is

EASY
IMPORTANT

It is required to hold equal charges q in equilibrium at the corners of a square. What charge when placed at the center of the square will do this?

EASY
IMPORTANT

If a charge q is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges Q such that the system is in equilibrium, then the value of q is,
