Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is e, the other is e+Δe. If the net electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance d (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then Δe is of the order of [Given mass of hydrogen mh= 1.67×1027 kg]

Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting, massless strings of same length. At equilibrium, the angle between the strings is α. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density 800 kg m-3 and dielectric constant 21.
