There is one horizontal non-conducting surface with surface charge density `5 muC//m^2`. A point object of mass `100mug` is placed above it . What charge should be given to the point object so that it may stay in equilibrium against gravity ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will determine the charge that needs to be given to the point object so that it remains in equilibrium against gravity. ### Step 1: Understand the forces acting on the point object The point object experiences two forces: 1. The gravitational force acting downwards, \( F_g = mg \) 2. The electric force acting upwards due to the electric field created by the charged surface, \( F_e = qE \) ### Step 2: Set up the equilibrium condition ...
