A wheel having mass m has charges + q and - q on diametrically opposite points. It remains in equilibrium on a rough inclined plane in the presence of a uniform vertical electric field E . The value of E is
Options
- Am g q
- Bm g 2 q
- Cm g tan θ 2 q
- Dnone
Correct answer
B. m g 2 q
Step-by-step solution
For rotational equilibrium, ∑ τ P = 0 ⇒ m g a cos α – q E ( 2 a cos ) = 0 ⇒ E = m g 2 q
