Three particles, each of mass 1 g and carrying a charge q, are suspended from a common point by insulated massless strings, each 100 cm long. The particles are in equilibrium and are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side length 3 cm, if the charge q on each particle is n×10-9 C. Find the value of n (Take g=10 m s-2).

In the figure shown S is a large nonconducting sheet of uniform charge density σ. A rod R of length and mass 'm' is parallel to the sheet and hinged at its mid point. The linear charge densities on the upper and lower half of the rod are shown in the figure. If the angular acceleration of the rod just after it is released is xσλ2mε0, then find the value of x.

Consider three identical metal spheres A,B and C. Spheres A carries charge +6q and sphere B carries charge -3q. Sphere C carries no charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Finally the sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. If the final charge on the sphere C is nq, find n.
