Question

A charged cork ball of mass 1 g is suspended on a light string in the presence of a uniform electric field as shown. When E=(3^i+5^j)×105 NC1, the ball is in equilibrium at θ=37. T is the tension in the string and q is the charge on the ball (Take sin 37 = 0.60 and g=10 ms2)

Solution

The correct option is C T=5.55×103N
T=cos θ+qEy=mg ...........(1)
T=sin θ=qEx
T(0.6)=3×105 q
q=603×105T
q=2×106T
T(0.8)+T=10100
T=5.55×103 N
q=11.1×109C
q=11 nC
