Simple pendulum with Charged bobs

[gracy]

If two simple pendulum with charged bobs hanging from the same point are taken in a satellite ,then their strings will become perfectly horizontal.

I think that should be the case when these bobs are charged with similar charges and hence repulsion occurs but what if the bobs are oppositely charged I don't think their strings will become perfectly horizontal.Rather the bobs should collapse.Am I right?
my following thread is related with this one.

Right. They attract each other and the strings don't get in the way.
Thread 830160 is well squeezed out and done with, I should hope...
So maybe this time we can have a record Gracy thread of only two posts !

( Feeble attempt to score in the humour hitlist... )
