    $4\,N$ (Attractive)
  • B

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 $N$? (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,Nm^2/C^2$)

$A$ particle of mass $M$ and charge $q$ is placed at the midpoint between two fixed charges each of magnitude $Q$, separated by a distance $2d$. The system is collinear as shown in the figure. If the particle is displaced by a small distance $x$ $(x \ll d)$ along the line joining the two charges and released, it will oscillate about the mean position with a time period $T$.
