1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
A wheel having mass $m$ has charges $+q $ and $-q$ on diametrically opposite points. It remains in equilibrium on a rough inclined plane in the presence of uniform vertical electric field $E =$

A
$\frac{{mg}}{q}$
B
$\frac{{mg}}{{2q}}$
C
$\frac{{mg\,\tan \theta }}{{2q}}$
D
none
Solution

Balancing torque abot $-q$ is
$q E 2 R \sin \theta=m g \sin \theta R$ or $E=\frac{m g}{2 q}$
