Two 5.0-g aluminum foil balls hang from 1.0-m-long threads that are suspended from the same point at the top. The charge on each ball is 5.0 * 10-6 C. Find the force that one ball exerts on the other.

Answer :

Answer: F=0.075N

Explanation:

T*cos(θ) = mg=0.005X9.8

T*cos(θ)=0.049N

T = 0.049/cosθ

F = k*q1*q2 / r2

F = 8.9875 * 10^9 * q1*q2 / r^2 q1

F = 8.9875 * 10^9 * (5 x 10^-6)^2 / r^2

F=0.2246875/r^2

r= 2Lsinθ = 2 x 1 x sinθ =2sinθ

The magnitude of the force exerted by one ball on the other is  [tex]0.05625/sin^{2} \theta[/tex] .

Electrostatic Force:

When two or more charged particles are held at some distance, then the force exerted by one charged particle on the other is known as electrostatic force.

Given data:

The mass of aluminum foil is, m = 5.0 g = 0.005 kg.

The length of the thread is, L = 1.0 m.

The magnitude of the charge on each ball is, [tex]q =5.0 \times 10^{-6} \;\rm C[/tex].

The expression for the force exerted by one ball to the other is given as,

[tex]F = \dfrac{k \times q^{2}}{d^{2}}[/tex]

here,

k is Coulomb's constant and d is the horizontal component of the length of thread and its value is,

[tex]d = 2L sin\theta[/tex]

[tex]\theta [/tex] is the angle made by the thread with the vertical.

Solving as,

[tex]F = \dfrac{9 \times 10^{9} \times (5.0 \times 10^{-6})^{2}}{(2L sin \theta)^{2}}\\\\\\ F = \dfrac{9 \times 10^{9} \times (5.0 \times 10^{-6})^{2}}{(2 \times 1.0 \times sin \theta)^{2}}\\\\\\ F = \dfrac{0.05625}{sin^{2} \theta}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of force exerted by one ball on the other is  [tex]0.05625/sin^{2} \theta[/tex] .
