Two small balls having equal poistive charges Q( coulomb) on each are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length L(metre) from a hook fixed to a stand. The whole set up is taken in a satellite into space where there is no gravity (state of weightlessness). The angle between the two strings is...............and the tenison in each string is...................newtons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
There is no gravitational force acting. Only electrostatic force of repulison is acting which will take the two balls as far as posisble. The angle between the two strings will be `180^@`. The tenison in the string will be equal to the electrostatic force of repulison.

`T=(1)/(4piepislon_0)xx(QxxQ)/(2L)^2=(1)/(4piepislon_0)xx(Q^2)/(4L^2)`
