166. A rigid insulated wire frame in the form of right angled triangle ABC, is set in a vertical plane as shown
in figure. Two beads of equal masses m each and carrying charges q1 and q 2 are connected by a cord of
length l and can slide without friction on the wires.
Considering the case when the beads are stationary, determine.

(i) (a) The angle 

(b) The tension in the cord
(c) The normal reaction on the beads
(ii) If the cord is now cut, what is the product of the charges for which the beads continue to remain
stationary?
167. A thin wire ring of radius r has an electric charge q . What will be the increment of the force stretching
the wire if a point charge q0 is placed at the ring’s centre?

168. Point charges q and q are located at the vertices of a square with diagonals 2 as shown in figure. Find
the magnitude of the electric field strength at a point located symmetrically with respect to the vertices of
the square at a distance x from its centre.

169. A point charge  Q is fixed at the centre of an insulated disc of mass M. The disc is resting with its plane
vertical on a rough horizontal plane. An another charge Q is fixed vertically above the centre of the disc
at a height h. If the disc is displaced slightly in the horizontal direction and friction is sufficient to
prevent slipping, find the period of oscillation of the disc.

170. In the arrangement shown, a block of mass ‘m’ is connected with a bob of mass ‘m’ having charge ‘q’ with
the help of light inextensible string. The bob is initially held at rest at distance ‘xo’ from the pulley. After
the initial set up, an infinite line of charge having charge density '  ' is placed at distance 3xo from the
pulley and the bob is released. Find
(i) the acceleration of the bob, as a function of distance x from the line charge.
(ii) the velocity of bob when its distance from the pulley is 2xo.
(The line charge and bob are in the same plane)
