Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length. The equilibrium separation between them is $r$. Now,the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now becomes:

  • A
    $\left( \frac{r}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \right)$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{2r}{\sqrt{3}} \right)$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{2r}{3} \right)$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{r}{2} \right)$

Two small spherical balls,each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10$ micro-coulomb),are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $1\,m$ each,from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium,the threads are separated by an angle of $60^o$ between them,as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads in $N$?
