In the figure below, two small charged spheres hang from cordsof equal length l. In equilibrium, the two cords formequal angles with the vertical direction (i.e.θ1=θ2). The sphere on the right carries twiceas much charge as the sphere on the left (i.e. Q2 =2 Q1). What can you say about the type of charge andmasses of the spheres?

Both spheres have the same type of charges and the same mass. Both spheres have the same type of charges. The sphere on the right has more mass (m₂=2 m₁). Both spheres have the same type of charge, The sphere on the left has more mass (m₁=2 m₂). The two spheres have opposite types of charges. The sphere on the right has more mass (m₂=2 m₂). The two spheres have opposite types of charges. The sphere on the left has more mass (m₁=2 m₂).
