Q.

Two charged small balls each of charge ‘q’ and mass ‘m’ when suspended from a common point by strings of length 'l'  in air, then these strings from an angle of 1200  with each other. When the system is immersed in q liquid of dielectric constant 'k' (ratio of density of liquid and ball’s materialdLdM=13) then the angle between the strings remain same. Mark the correct statements):

a

The dielectric constant of the liquid is 3/2

b

The electrostatic force exerted by the liquid on one of the balls is 3kq22l2

c

The electrostatic force exerted by the liquid on one of the balls is kq23l2

d

The total system is placed in a gravitational free space then angle between the strings will be 1800

Detailed Solution

The angle made by the string with vertical will be 60o.

Femg=3Fe=3mg........(1)

So the separation between the two charges will be 3l .

Fe=kq23l2=kq23l2

Since dLdM=13, the buoyant force will be mg3.

As the liquid is dielectric in nature, electrostatic force will be divided by the factor of 'k', So F'e=Fek...(2)

As the angle made by string with vertical is unchanged, F'emg-B=3 

F'e=3×23mg

From (1),

Fek=3×23mgk=32

The electrostatic force from the liquid will be Fe1-1k=kq23l21-23=kq29l2
