JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

Three identical charged balls each of charge \(2 \,C\) are suspended from a common point \(P\) by silk threads of \(2 \,m\) each (as shown in figure). They form an equilateral triangle of side \(1 \,m\). The ratio of net force on a charged ball to the force between any two charged balls will be ...........

  1. A \(1: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 4\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3}: 2\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{3}: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{3}: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F=\frac{k(2)(2)}{(1)^{2}}\) ( \(F=\) Force between two charges). \(F =4 k\) \(F_{\text {net }}=2 F \cos 30^{\circ}=2 \cdot F \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=F \sqrt{3}\) \(\left(F_{\text {net }}=\right.\) Net electrostatic force on one charged ball)…
