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 ...........

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)

\(\frac{F_{\text {net }}}{F}=\frac{\sqrt{3} F}{F}=(\sqrt{3})\)

Remark : Net force on any one of the ball is zero. But no option given in options.
