A charged ball B hangs from a silk thread $S$ which makes an angle $\theta$ with a large charged conducting sheet $\mathrm{P}$, as show in the figure. The surface charge density $\sigma$ of the sheet is proportional to
  1. $\cos \theta$
  2. $\cot \theta$
  3. $\sin \theta$
  4. $\tan \theta$

Solution


$\tan \theta=\frac{q \sigma}{\left(2 \varepsilon_{\circ}\right) m g}$
