Two identical tennis balls each having mass $m$ and charge $q$ are suspended from a fixed point by threads of length $l$. What is the equilibrium separation when each thread makes a small angle $\theta$ with the vertical?

  • A
    $x=\left(\frac{q^{2} l}{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0} mg}\right)^{1 / 2}$
  • B
    $x=\left(\frac{q^{2} l^{2}}{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0} m^{2} g^{2}}\right)^{1 / 3}$
  • C
    $x=\left(\frac{q^{2} l}{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0} mg}\right)^{1 / 3}$
  • D
    $x=\left(\frac{q^{2} l^{2}}{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0} m^{2} g}\right)^{1 / 3}$

Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting,massless strings of same length. At equilibrium,the angle between the strings is $\alpha$. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density $\rho_l = 800 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and dielectric constant $K = 21$. If the angle between the strings remains the same after the immersion,then
$(A)$ electric force between the spheres remains unchanged
$(B)$ electric force between the spheres reduces
$(C)$ mass density of the spheres is $840 \ kg \ m^{-3}$
$(D)$ the tension in the strings holding the spheres remains unchanged
