Two spheres carrying charge q are hanging from a same point of suspension with the help of threads of length 1 m, in a space free from gravity. The distance between them will be........

A

0

B

0.5

C

2m

D

can not be determined

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

As shown in the figure, due to repulsive force between like charges, they will remain as far as possible. So maximum distance will be lm + lm = 2m. (No gravitational force exerts on them.)
