Think of a good Gaussian surface!

Two charges are placed along same horizontal line. Charge1 is carrying charge Q Q . whereas charge 2 is carrying charge q q .If the field line emerging from charge 1 at an angle A = 3 0 A=30^\circ with horizontal goes to infinity and the tangent to that field line at infinity from charge 2 makes an angle B = 6 0 B=60^\circ with horizontal.

If Q q \dfrac Qq is of form a b c \dfrac{\sqrt a-b}{c} , where a , b a,b and c c are positive integers with c c minimized, find a + b + c a+b+c .


The answer is 6.

The gaussian surface can be assumed to be just a part of a sphere that intercepts the field lines coming from charge 1.And by principle the flux through this either way must be same(means the no of field lines passing through a surface = no of lines emanating) so Q ( 1 c o s 30 ) = q ( 1 c o s 60 ) Q(1-cos30)=q(1-cos60)
