AIIMS 2018 Physics Simple Pendulum MCQ Question
Two small balls, each having equal positive charge are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length from a hook fixed to a stand. If mass of each ball = & total angle between the two strings is , then find the charge on each ball.

Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The time period of small oscillations for a pendulum is given by the formula , where is the length of the pendulum and is the acceleration due to gravity. In this scenario, since both pendulums are identical with mass and length , the effective mass and configuration lead to a combined time period that can be derived to yield , aligning with option A. Other options do not correctly account for the combined effects of the two identical pendulums or miscalculate the constants involved in the derivation.
