Two point charges \(A\) and \(B,\) having charges \(+Q\) and \(-Q\) respectively, are placed at a certain distance apart and the force acting between them is \(F.\) If \(25\%\) charge of \(A\) is transferred to \(B,\) then the force between the charges becomes:
1. \(\frac{4F}{3}\) 2. \(F\)
3. \(\frac{9F}{16}\) 4. \(\frac{16F}{9}\)

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 \(=1.67\times 10^{-27}~\text{kg}\) )
1. \(10^{20}\) 2. \(10^{30}\)
3. \(10^{40}\) 4. \(10\)

Five balls numbered \(1\) to \(5\) are suspended using separate threads. Pairs \((1, 2), (2, 4),\) and \((4, 1)\) show electrostatic attraction, while pairs \((2, 3)\) and \((4, 5)\) show repulsion. Therefore ball \((1)\) must be:

1. positively charged
2. negatively charged
3. neutral
4. made of metal

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths \(l,\) are initially at a distance \(d\) \(\left ( d\ll l \right )\) apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity \(v.\) Then, \(v\) varies as a function of the distance \(x\) between the sphere, as:
1. \(v\propto x\)
2. \(v\propto x^{-1/2}\)
3. \(v\propto x^{-1}\)
4. \(v\propto x^{1/2}\)
