Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Properties of Charge and Coulomb's Law MCQ (Single Correct)

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 λ fixed to points at the same horizontal level, but distant λ 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. The dielectric constant of the liquid is K. Find the value of 4K

Sol.

tan θ = =

⇒ k = = = 1.5

k = = = 1.5

so 4k = 6
