Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of 37 with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density 0.7 g/cm3, the angle remains same. If density of material of the sphere is 1.4 g/cm3, the dielectric constant of the liquid is ( 37 = 34 )
Answer
2
Solution

In air: = Femg= Fe Vg
In liquid: force FeK, effective weight ( - )Vg (buoyancy)
= FeK( - )Vg
θ unchanged: =K( - )
K= 1.41.4-0.7=2
Answer: 2
