As shown in the figure, a configuration of two equal point charges (q0=+2\muC)\left({q}_{0} = + 2\muC\right) is placed on an inclined plane. Mass of each point charge is 20g20g. Assume that there is no friction between charge and plane. For the system of two point charges to be in equilibrium (at rest) the height h=x×10−3mh = x \times {10}^{- 3}m. The value ofxx is
\left(\text{Take}\dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}} = 9 \times {10}^{9}N{m}^{2}{C}^{- 2}, g = 10m{s}^{- 2}\right)

As shown in the figure, a configuration of two equal point charges ( q _ 0 = + 2 ) is placed on an inclined plane. Mass

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

As shown in the figure, a configuration of two equal point charges ( q _ 0 = + 2 ) is placed on an inclined plane. Mass

For the condition of equilibrium, the Coulomb force is equal to mgsinθmgsin\theta. Hence,

kq024h2=(mgsinθ)⇒kq024h2=(20×10−3)×10×12\dfrac{k{{q}_{0}}^{2}}{4{h}^{2}} = ( mgsin\theta ) ⇒ \dfrac{k{{q}_{0}}^{2}}{4{h}^{2}} = \left(20 \times {10}^{- 3}\right) \times 10 \times \dfrac{1}{2}

⇒9×109×4×10−124h2=20×10−3×10×12⇒h=(9100)m=0.3m=300×10−3m⇒ \dfrac{9 \times {10}^{9} \times 4 \times {10}^{- 12}}{4{h}^{2}} = 20 \times {10}^{- 3} \times 10 \times \dfrac{1}{2} ⇒ h = \left(\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{100}}\right)m = 0 . 3m = 300 \times {10}^{- 3}m

h2=(9100)⇒h=(310)m=0.3m{h}^{2} = \left(\dfrac{9}{100}\right) ⇒ h = \left(\dfrac{3}{10}\right)m = 0 .3 m

=300×10−3m= 300 \times {10}^{- 3}m
