Two equal balls having equal positive charge ‘q’ coulombs are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length. What would be the effect on the force when a plastic sheet is inserted between the two ?
The force decreases.


Three charges each equal to 2 μC are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. If force between any two charges is 2F, then the net force on either will be:
