Electrostatics Question 243

Question: In the given two tiny conducting balls of identical mass m and identical charge q hang from non-conducting threads of equal length L. Assume that q is so small that tanθsinθ , then for equilibrium x is equal to [AMU 2000]

Options:

A) 2N

B) 6N

C) 8N

D) 20N

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Ex=dVdx=(68y2),

Ey=dVdy=(16xy8+6z)

Ez=dVdz=(6y8z)

At origin x = y = z = 0 so,Ex=6,Ey=8 andEz=0

therefore E=Ex2+Ey2=10N/C .

Hence force F=QE=2×10=20N
