Three small identical neutral metal balls are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The balls are in turn touched to an isolated large charged conducting sphere whose centre is on a line perpendicular to the plane of triangle and passing through its centre. As a result the first and second balls have acquired charges q ₁ and q ₂ respectively. The charge acquired by the third ball is [Assume that charge and pote

Two particles of masses m₁ and m₂ carry identical charges. Starting from rest they are accelerated through the same potential difference. Then they enter into a region of uniform mThe breakdown field for air is about 2 10^6 volt / m . Therefore, the maximum charge that can be placed on a sphere of diameter 10 cm isA uniform spherical charge distribution of radius R produces electric fields E ₁ and E ₂ at two points at distances r₁ and r₂ respectively from the centre of the distribution. Out A charge q is situated at the origin. Let E _ A , E _ B and E _ C be the electric fields at the points A (2,-3,-1), B (-1,-2,4) and C (2,-4,1) . Therefore,A cylinder on whose surfaces there is a vertical electric field of varying magnitude as shown. The electric field is uniform on the top surface as well as on the bottom surface.
