Assertion: A positively charged rod is held near a neutral conducting solid sphere as illustrated below. The sphere lies on a insulated stand. The potential of ground (or earth) is zero. The potential at point A (point A need not be centre of the sphere) is higher compared to potential of gound (earth). Reason: In this situation of assertion, the potential at the centre of conducting sphere is positive. the solid sphere being conducting, potential at each point in the sphere is same.

Two small insulating spheres are attached to silk threads. The spheres have equal masses of 40 g and have electric charges of q_(1)=+2.0 muC and q_(2)=-2.0 mu C . The spheres are brought into the initial positions shown in Figure(a), with a vertical separation of 15 cm between them. In figure, the upper thread is slowly pulled upward, while point B is kept fixed. When point a has been raised through a height h, the lower sphere suddenly falls, as shown in Figure (b). The height h, is closest to:

A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is
