JEE Advanced · Physics · 17. Electrostatics

Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting, massless strings of same length. At equilibrium, the angle between the strings is α. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density 800 kg m-3 and dielectric constant 21. If the angle between the strings remains the same after the immersion, then

  1. A electric force between the spheres remains unchanged
  2. B electric force between the spheres reduces
  3. C mass density of the spheres is 840 kg m-3
  4. D the tension in the strings holding the spheres remains unchanged
