A small bob of mass 100 mg and charge +10 C is connected to an insulating string of length 1 m. It is brought near to an infinitely long nonconducting sheet of charge density ' ' as shown in figure. If string subtends an angle of 45^ with the sheet at equilibrium the charge density of sheet will be : (Given, ₀=8.85 10⁻¹² ~F ~m and acceleration due to gravity, g=10 ~m / s ^2 )
Options
- A0.885 nC / m ^2
- B17.7 nC / m ^2
- C885 nC / m ^2
- D1.77 nC / m ^2
Correct answer
D. 1.77 nC / m ^2
