Figure a shows an arrangement of three charged particles separated by distance d. Particles A and C are fixed on the x-axis, but particle B can be moved along a circle centred on particle A. During the movement, a radial line between A and B makes an angle θ relative to the positive direction of the x-axis (figure (b)) . The curves in figure c give, for two situations, the magnitude Fnet of the net electrostatic force on particle A due to the other particles. That net force is given as a function of angle θ and as a multiple of a basic amount F0. For example, on curve 1, at θ=180° we see that Fnet=2F0.  For the situation corresponding to curve 1, what is the ratio of the charge of particle C to that of particle B (including sign)?

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 the same radius as that of B but uncharged is brought in contact with B, then with C and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between B and C is
