Two identical charged conducting spheres \(A\) and \(B\) have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is \(q\) and the force of repulsion between them is \(F.\) A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere \(A\) first and then with \(B\) and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres \( A\) and \(B\) (Radii of \(A\) and \(B\) are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:
1. \(\dfrac{F}{2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{3 F}{8}\)
3. \(\dfrac{3 F}{5}\) 4. \(\dfrac{2 F}{3}\)

The ratio of Coulomb's electrostatic force to the gravitational force between an electron and a proton separated by some distance is \(2.4\times 10^{39}.\) The ratio of the proportionality constant, \(k=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\) to the gravitational constant \(G\) is nearly:
(Given that the charge of the proton and electron each \(=1.6\times 10^{-19},\) the mass of the electron \(=9.11\times 10^{-31}~\text{kg},\) the mass of the proton \(=1.67\times 10^{-27}~\text{kg}\) )

Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length, the equilibrium separation between them is \(r\) (as shown in Fig. I). Now, as shown in Fig. II, the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now becomes:
1. \(\dfrac{r}{\sqrt[3]{2}}\) 2. \(\dfrac{r}{\sqrt[2]{2}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{2r}{3}\) 4. none of the above

An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance \(h\) in a uniform and vertically upward-directed electric field \(E\). The direction of the electric field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest through the same vertical distance \(h\). The fall time of the electron in comparison to the fall time of the proton is:

1. smaller 2. \(5\) times greater
3. \(10\) times greater 4. equal

A toy car with charge \(q\) moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field \(\vec {E}.\) Due to the force \(q\vec {E},\) its velocity increases from \(0\) to \(6~\text{m/s}\) in a one-second duration. At that instant, the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between \(0\) to \(3\) seconds are respectively:

1. \(2~\text{m/s}, ~4~\text{m/s}\) 2. \(1~\text{m/s}, ~3~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(1~\text{m/s}, ~3.5~\text{m/s}\) 4. \(1.5~\text{m/s},~ 3~\text{m/s}\)
