There are two charges with charge q and mass m and they are in equilibrium. Then, in the diagram why is my teacher saying that electrostatic force(F)=mg? Below is diagram.
The discussion revolves around a scenario involving two charges with charge q and mass m that are said to be in equilibrium. The original poster questions the relationship between the electrostatic force and gravitational force as indicated by their teacher.
The conversation is exploring the definitions and implications of equilibrium in the context of forces acting on the charges. Some participants confirm the understanding that equilibrium implies a net force of zero, while others prompt further exploration of the force vectors involved.
There is a reference to a diagram that illustrates the forces acting on the particle, although the specifics of the diagram are not provided. The discussion also hints at the need for clarity regarding all forces at play in the scenario.
Yes. That's right. If you added (head-to-tail) the force vectors acting on the particle, what would the diagram look like?Abhishek Das said:Equilibrium means net force is zero, right?
