MCQ
Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density $0.8 \;g\, cm ^{-3}$, the angle remains the same. If density of the material of the sphere is $1.6\; g \,cm ^{-3}$, the dielectric constant of the liquid is
  • $2$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $3$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2$
a
From F.B.D of sphere, using Lami's theorem

$\frac{F}{m g}=\tan \theta$

when suspended in liquid, as $q$ remains same,

$\frac{F^{\prime}}{m g\left(1-\frac{\rho}{a}\right)}=\tan \theta$

$\frac{F}{m g}=\frac{F^{\prime}}{m g\left(1-\frac{\rho}{d}\right)} \text { where, } F^{\prime}=\frac{F}{K}$

$\frac{F}{m g}=\frac{F^{\prime}}{m g\left(1-\frac{\rho}{d}\right)}$

$K=\frac{1}{1-\frac{h}{h}}=2$
