उत्तर
Tcosθ = mg ...(i)
Tsinθ = Fe ...(ii)
Here,
\[F_e = \frac{1}{4 \pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q^2}{r^2}\]
\[\tan\theta = \frac{2}{39 . 9}\]
Dividing equation (ii) by (i), we get
\[\tan\theta = \frac{F_e}{\text{ mg }}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan\theta = \frac{1}{4 \pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q^2}{r^2} . \frac{1}{\text{mg}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow q^2 = \frac{\tan\theta . r^2 . \text{mg}}{1/4 \pi\epsilon_0}\]
\[ \Rightarrow q^2 = 17 \times {10}^{- 16} \]
\[ \Rightarrow q = 4 . 123 \times {10}^{- 8} C\]
