Two small balls,each having mass $m$ and charge $q$,are suspended from a common point by insulating strings of length $L$ as shown in the figure. Assuming $\theta$ is very small such that $\tan \theta \approx \sin \theta$,find the value of $x$ at equilibrium.

  • A
    ${\left( {\frac{{{q^2}L}}{{2\pi {\varepsilon _0}mg}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{{q{L^2}}}{{2\pi {\varepsilon _0}mg}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
  • C
    ${\left( {\frac{{{q^2}{L^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}mg}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
  • D
    ${\left( {\frac{{{q^2}L}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}mg}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

The ratio of Coulomb's electrostatic force to the gravitational force between an electron and a proton separated by some distance is $2.4 \times 10^{39}$. The ratio of the proportionality constant $K = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ to the gravitational constant $G$ is nearly (Given that the charge of the proton and electron each $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; C$,the mass of the electron $= 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \; kg$,the mass of the proton $= 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \; kg$):
