1. Electric Charges and Fields
hard

Two small spheres each of mass $10 \,mg$ are suspended from a point by threads $0.5 \,m$ long. They are equally charged and repel each other to a distance of $0.20 \,m$. The charge on each of the sphere is $\frac{ a }{21} \times 10^{-8} \, C$. The value of $a$ will be ...... .

Solution

$T \cos \theta= mg =10 \times 10^{-6} \times 10=10^{-4}$

$T \sin \theta=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times q ^{2}}{0.04}= F$

$\tan \theta==\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{0.24}}=\frac{ F }{ mg }$

$q =\frac{2 \sqrt{10}}{3 \sqrt{\sqrt{24}}} \times 10^{-8}$

$0.95 \times 10^{-8}=\frac{ a }{21} \times 10^{-3}$

$a =20$
