प्रश्न
Two identical balls, each with a charge of 2.00 × 10−7 C and a mass of 100 g, are suspended from a common point by two insulating strings, each 50 cm long. The balls are held at a separation 5.0 cm apart and then released. Find.
(a) the electric force on one of the charged balls
(b) the components of the resultant force on it along and perpendicular to the string
(c) the tension in the string
(d) the acceleration of one of the balls. Answers are to be obtained only for the instant just after the release.

उत्तर
Given:
Magnitude of the charges, q = 2.0 × 10−7 C
Separation between the charges,
\[r = 5 \times {10}^{- 2} \]m
Length of the string,
\[l = 50 \text{ cm }= 50 \times {10}^{- 2}\] m
Mass of the balls, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg
(a) By Coulomb's Law, the electric force,
F = `("Kq"_1"q"_2)`
= `(9 xx 10^9 xx 2 xx 10^(-7) xx 2 xx 10^(-7))/((5 xx 10^(-2))^2)`
= `36/25 xx 10^(-1)`
= 0.144 N
(b) The components of the resultant force along it is zero because mg balances Tcosθ,as shown in the figure. So,
F = Tsinθ
⊥ to the string Fnet = fe cosθ − mg singθ
= `0.144(1) − 100/1000 xx 10 xx 1/20`
= `0.144 - 1/20`
= 0.094 N
(c) Tension in the string,
Tsinθ = F ..(1)
Tcosθ = mg ...(2)
Squaring equations (1) and (2) and adding, we get
\[T^2 = F^2 + \left( \text{mg } \right)^2 \]
\[ = \left( 0 . 144 \right)^2 + \left( 0 . 1 \times 9 . 8 \right)^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow T^2 = 0 . 986\] N
(d) the acceleration of one of the balls
a = `"Fnet"/"m"`
= `0.094/0.1`
= 0.94 m/s2
