Two charged conducting spheres of radii $$a$$ and $$b$$ are connected to each other by a conducting wire. The ratio of charges of the two spheres respectively is:

Two identical conducting spheres P and S with charge Q on each, repel each other with a force $$16 \mathrm{~N}$$. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere $$\mathrm{R}$$ is successively brought in contact with the two spheres. The new force of repulsion between $$\mathrm{P}$$ and $$\mathrm{S}$$ is :

$$\sigma$$ is the uniform surface charge density of a thin spherical shell of radius R. The electric field at any point on the surface of the spherical shell is :

The vehicles carrying inflammable fluids usually have metallic chains touching the ground:
