Two identical conducting spheres and carry an equal charges. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters, and the force between them is . A third identical conducting sphere, , is uncharged. Sphere is first touched to , then to , and then removed. As a result, the force between and would be equal to:


Important Questions on Electrostatics
Two capacitors of equal capacitance are shown in the figure. Initially, while the switch is open, one of the capacitors is uncharged and the other carries charge The energy stored in the charged capacitor is . Sometimes after the switch is closed, the capacitors and carry charges and , respectively, the voltage across the capacitors are and and the energies stored in the capacitors are and Which of the following statements is incorrect?




The potential differences that must be applied across the parallel and series combination of identical capacitors is such that the energy stored in them becomes the same. The ratio of potential difference in parallel to series combination is

In the circuit given below, the capacitor is charged by closing the switch and opening the switch . After charging, the switch is opened and is closed, then the maximum current in the circuit
