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 threads are separated by an angle ${60^o}$ between them, as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads......$N$ (Given: $\frac{1}{{(4\pi {\varepsilon _0})}} = 9 \times {10^9}\,Nm/{C^2}$)
$18$
$1.8$
$0.18$
None of the above
According to Coulomb's Law, which is correct relation for the following diagram?
Two charges $ + 4e$ and $ + e$ are at a distance $x$ apart. At what distance, a charge $q$ must be placed from charge $ + e$ so that it is in equilibrium
An isolated solid metallic sphere is given $ + Q$ charge. The charge will be distributed on the sphere
Coulomb's law for electrostatic force between two point charges and Newton's law for gravitational force between two stationary point masses, both have inverse-square dependence on the distance between the charges and masses respectively.
$(a)$ Compare the strength of these forces by determining the ratio of their magnitudes $(i)$ for an electron and a proton and $(ii)$ for two protons.
$(b)$ Estimate the accelerations of electron and proton due to the electrical force of their mutual attraction when they are $1 \mathring A \left( { = {{10}^{ - 10}}m} \right)$ apart? $\left(m_{p}=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \,kg , m_{e}=9.11 \times 10^{-31}\, kg \right)$
If $g_E$ and $g_M$ are the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the earth and the moon respectively and if Millikan's oil drop experiment could be performed on the two surfaces, one will find the ratio (electronic charge on the moon/electronic charge on the earth) to be
