Detailed Solution

Concept: The acceleration caused by gravity in a satellite is zero, implying that the system weighs nothing, with the idea that two similar charges repel one another.
A satellite is in a state of weightlessness.
So, mg =0.
The thread would become horizontal due to the electrostatic force of repulsion between the balls.
So, the angle between the strings equals 180.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
