Two small spheres each of mass \(10 \,mg\) are suspended from a point by threads \(0.5 \,m\) long. They are equally charged and repel each other to a distance of \(0.20 \,m\). The charge on each of the sphere is \(\frac{ a }{21} \times 10^{-8} \, C\). The value of \(a\) will be ...... . \(\left[\right.\) Given \(\left.g=10 \,ms ^{-2}\right]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T \cos \theta= mg =10 \times 10^{-6} \times 10=10^{-4}\)

\(T \sin \theta=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times q ^{2}}{0.04}= F\)

\(\tan \theta==\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{0.24}}=\frac{ F }{ mg }\)

\(q =\frac{2 \sqrt{10}}{3 \sqrt{\sqrt{24}}} \times 10^{-8}\)

\(0.95 \times 10^{-8}=\frac{ a }{21} \times 10^{-3}\)

\(a =20\)
