JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 25th February Evening Shift - No. 26)

Two small spheres each of mass 10 mg are suspended from a point by threads 0.5 m long. They are equally charged and repel each other to a distance of 0.20 m. The charge on each of the sphere is $${a \over {21}} \times {10^{ - 8}}$$C. The value of 'a' will be ___________. [Given g = 10 ms$$-$$2]
Answer
20

Explanation

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 25th February Evening Shift Physics - Electrostatics Question 136 English Explanation
T sin$$\theta$$ = $${{k{q^2}} \over {{r^2}}}$$

T cos$$\theta$$ = mg

tan$$\theta$$ = $${{k{q^2}} \over {mg{r^2}}}$$

q2 = $${{\tan \theta mg{r^2}} \over k}$$

$$ \because $$ tan$$\theta$$ = $${{0.1} \over {0.5}} = {1 \over 5}$$

$${q^2} = {1 \over 5} \times {{10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times 10 \times 0.2 \times 0.2} \over {9 \times {{10}^9}}}$$

$$q = {{2\sqrt 2 } \over 3} \times {10^{ - 8}}$$

after comparison from the given equation a = 20
