64 When the distance between two charged particles is halved, the force between them becomes:
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Force is inversely proportional to $r^2$, so halving the distance quadruples the force.
65 Two charges are placed at a certain distance apart. A brass sheet is placed between them. The force between them will:
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: A brass sheet (conductor) can alter the electric field, potentially increasing the force.
66 Two charges are placed at a distance apart. If a glass slab is placed between them, force between them will:
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: A glass slab (dielectric) reduces the force between charges.
67 There are two charges +1 micro – coulomb and 5 micro – coulomb. The ratio of the forces acting on them will be:
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (Newton's third law).
68 $F_e$ and $F_c$ represent gravitational and electrostatic force respectively between electrons situated at a distance of 10 cm. The ratio of $F_e / F_c$ is of the order:
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Electrostatic force is vastly stronger than gravitational force for electrons.
69 The ratio of the forces between two small spheres with constant charges (a) in air (b) in a medium of dielectric constant k is respectively:
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The force in a medium is reduced by a factor of the dielectric constant $k$.
70 A charge $q_1$ exerts some force on a second charge $q_2$. If third charge $q_3$ is brought near $q_1$, the force of $q_1$ exerted on $q_2$:
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The presence of $q_3$ alters the net force depending on its charge.
