Question Image

As we know the force of electrostatic acting on 2 charge particle is equal if they kept isolated.

That means it doesn’t matter which bob has more charge, The force acting between them is same and also it is the reason that they will make some angle with vertical.

This is the simple formula of electrostatic force of attraction between two charges. 

F=kQqr2

 Hence, T1=T2, which implies θ1=θ2
