Two pith balls, each carrying charge are hung from a hook by two strings. It is found that when each charge is tripled, angle between the strings double. What was the initial angle between the strings?


Important Questions on Electrostatics
A negative charge is placed at the midpoint between two fixed equal positive charges, separated by a distance . If the negative charge is given a small displacement perpendicular to the line joining the positive charges, how the force developed on it will approximately depend on ?

Eleven equal point charges, all of them having a charge are placed at all the hour positions of a circular clock of radius except at the position. What is the electric field strength at the centre of the clock?



In that case, which of the following graph shows most correctly the electric field vector in in -direction ?


The bob of a pendulum of mass suspended by an inextensible string of length as shown in the figure carries a small charge . An infinite horizontal plane conductor with uniform surface charge density is placed below it. What will be the time period of the pendulum for small amplitude oscillations?
