Two similar tiny balls of mass $m$,each carrying charge $q$,are hung from silk threads of length $l$ as shown in the figure. These are separated by a distance $x$ and the angle $2\theta$ is small. Then,for equilibrium:

  • A
    $x = 2l$
  • B
    $x = \frac{lq^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 mg}$
  • C
    $x = \left(\frac{q^2 mg}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right)^{1/2}$
  • D
    $x = \left(\frac{q^2 l}{2\pi\varepsilon_0 mg}\right)^{1/3}$
