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 a21×10-8 C. The value of a will be ___.[Given g=10 m s-2]

Solution

.

Tcosθ=mg=10×10-6×10=10-4

Tsinθ=9×109×q20.04=F

tanθ==0.10.24=Fmg

q=210324×10-8

0.95×10-8=a21×10-8

a=20
