Question:

Two identical pendulums A and B are suspended from the same point. Both are given a positive charge, with A having more charge than B. They diverge and reach equilibrium with the strings of pendulums A and B making angles θ1​ and θ2​ with the vertical respectively. Then which of following is true? 

Options:

θ1 > θ2 

θ1 <θ2 

θ1 ≠ θ2 but can't say further 

θ1 = θ2 

Correct Answer:

θ1 = θ2 

Explanation:

Electrostatic force acting on both charges due to other is equal and so is tension.
