Grade 12Electrostatics

Two identical balls each having density P are suspended from a common point by two insulating strings of equal length. Both the balls have equal mass and charge. In equilibrium each string makes an angle theta with vertical. Now both the balls are immersed in liquid. As a result the angle does not change. the density of the liquid is sigma. find the dielectric constant of the liquid .

First make fbd. Make three forces in each case and use lami`s theorem. Then solve the forces by triangle law or parallelogram law
