Two small spherical balls,each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10$ micro-coulomb),are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $1\,m$ each,from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium,the threads are separated by an angle of $60^o$ between them,as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads in $N$? (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,Nm^2/C^2$)

  • A
    $18$
  • B
    $1.8$
  • C
    $0.18$
  • D
