Question

Two identical spheres of same mass and specific gravity (which is the ratio of density of a substance and density of water) 2.4 have different charges of Q and-3Q.They
are suspended from two strings of same length l fixed to points at the same horizontal level, but distant l from each other. When the entire set up is transferred inside a liquid of specific gravity 0.8, it is observed that the inclination of each string in equilibrium remains unchanged. Then the dielectric constant of the liquid is

Moderate
Solution

tanθ=FeVρg=Fe/kV(ρσ)g k=ρρσ=2.42.40.8=1.5
