A tiny $0.50\, gm$ ball carries a charge of magnitude $10\, \mu C$. It is suspended by a thread in a downward electric field of intensity $300\, N/C$. If the charge on the ball is positive, then the tension in the string is

  • A

    $5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,N$

  • B

    $8 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,N$

  • C

    $2 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,N$

  • D

    Zero

Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting, massless strings of same length. At equilibrium, the angle between the strings is $\alpha$. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density $800 kg m ^{-3}$ and dielectric constant $21$ . If the angle between the strings remains the same after the immersion, then

$(A)$ electric force between the spheres remains unchanged

$(B)$ electric force between the spheres reduces
