1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy

A pendulum bob of mass $30.7 \times {10^{ - 6}}\,kg$ and carrying a charge $2 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,C$ is at rest in a horizontal uniform electric field of $20000\, V/m$. The tension in the thread of the pendulum is $(g = 9.8\,m/{s^2})$

A

$3 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,N$

B

$4 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,N$

C

$5 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,N$

D

$6 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,N$

Solution

(c) $T = \sqrt {{{(mg)}^2} + {{(QE)}^2}} $
$ = \sqrt {{{(30.7 \times {{10}^{ – 6}} \times 9.8)}^2} + {{(2 \times {{10}^{ – 8}} \times 20000)}^2}} $$ = 5 \times {10^{ – 4}}N$
