Force required to pull one end at a constant speed</h3>
The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;
F = ma
where;
- m is mass
- a is acceleration
At a constant speed, the acceleration of the object will be zero.
F = m x 0
F = 0
Thus, the force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

<span>We know , E = kQ/r^2 where q = charge and r is separation between point and point charge.
Now, At P, E= kQ/r^2
Since, Q can't be changed, we can do that by varying r
2E = 2kq/r^2
2E = kq/ (r/ sqrt2)^2
Hence, if we bring Q closer such that distance between P and Q becomes r/ sqrt 2, E will get doubled.</span>
The current will decrease as the resistance has now increased, meaning less current will be 'let through' the resistor. (assuming it's in series, there's no image)
