1. Three charges of 5 C, 10 C and –10 C are placed in air at A,B and C corners of an
equilateral triangle ABC, having each side 5cm. Find the resultant force on the charge at A.
(a) 1.8N (b) 18N (c) 180N (d) 1800N
2. Two conducting spheres A and B of same size are situated at some distance apart. Each has
a charge +q and repel each other with a force of 10-5 N. A third conducting sphere C of same
size is first touched with A and then with B and then placed exactly between A and B. Calculate
the resultant force on C.
(a) 0.25x 10-5 N (b) 0.25x 10-4 N (c) 1.0 x 10-5 N (d) 0.75x 10-5 N
