Two pith balls each with mass are suspended from insulating threads. When the pith balls are given equal positive charge , they hang in equilibrium as shown. We now increase the charge on the left pith ball from to while leaving its mass essentially unchanged. Which of the following diagrams best represents the new equilibrium configuration?
