(i) Two charged particles having charge 4.0 × 10 –6 C and mass 24 × 10 –3 Kg each are joined by an insulating string of length 1 m and the system is kept on a smooth horizontal table. Find the tension in the string.
(ii) If suddenly string is cut then what is the acceleration of each particle?
(iii) Are they having equal acceleration?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
[(i) 
= 0.144 N
(ii) 
= 6 m/s 2
(iii) No (Magnitude is same but direction is different)]
Sol. (i)
;
T = F = 
= 
= 0.144 N
(ii) a = 
m/s 2 = 6 m/s 2
