Two small balls having equal positive charges Q coulomb on each are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length L metre from a hook fixed to a stand. This whole setup is taken in a satellite into space, where there is no gravity (state of weightlessness). What is the angle between the strings? Find out the tension in each string.
