A small spherical insulator of mass 3.41 × 10-2 kg and charge +0.600 μC is hung by a thin wire of negligible mass. A charge of -0.900 μC is held 0.150 m away from the sphere and directly to the right of it, so the wire makes an angle θ with the vertical (see the drawing). Find (a) the angle θ and (b) the tension in the wire.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data,

Mass of the sphere = 3.41 × 10-2 kg

Charge on the sphere = +0.6 μC

Charge on the other particle = -0.9 μC

Distance between charge and the sphere = 0.15 m
