Two positively charged spheres of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended from a common point at the ceiling by identical insulating massless strings of length $l$. Charges on the two spheres are $q_1$ and $q_2$,respectively. At equilibrium,both strings make the same angle $\theta$ with the vertical. Then

  • A
    $q_1 m_1 = q_2 m_2$
  • B
    $m_1 = m_2$
  • C
    $m_1 = m_2 \sin \theta$
  • D
    $q_2 m_1 = q_1 m_2$

Two small spherical balls,each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10$ micro-coulomb),are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $1\,m$ each,from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium,the threads are separated by an angle of $60^o$ between them,as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads in $N$? (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,Nm^2/C^2$)
