A particle of mass and charge is lying at the mid-point of two stationary particles distant and each carrying a charge . If the free charged particle is displaced from its equilibrium position through distance then the particle will,


Important Questions on Electrostatics
In the figure shown, a charge is fixed at point . Another identical charge of mass at point is given a velocity perpendicular to the line . At this moment, the radius of curvature of the resultant path at will be,



A force $F$ acts between sodium and chlorine ions of salt (sodium chloride) when put apart in air. The permittivity of air and dielectric constant of water are $\varepsilon_{0}$ and $k$, respectively. When a piece of salt is put in water, electrical force acting between sodium and chlorine ions apart is,

The force of repulsion between two identical positive charges when kept with a separation in air is . Half the gap between the two charges is filled by a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $=4 $. Then the new force of repulsion between those two charges becomes


Three charges and are placed as shown in the figure. The component of the force on is proportional to

Two small spheres with mass and hang from massless insulating threads of length and The two spheres carry charges and , respectively. The spheres are hung such that they are on the same horizontal level and the threads are inclined to the vertical at angles and Which of the condition is required if
