The bob of a pendulum of mass $m$, suspended by an inextensible string of length $L$ as shown in the figure, carries a small charge $q$. An infinite horizontal plane conductor with uniform surface charge density $\sigma$ is placed below it. What will be the time period of the pendulum for small amplitude oscillations?

  • A
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g-\frac{q \sigma}{\varepsilon_{0} m}}}$
  • B
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g+\frac{q \sigma}{\varepsilon_{0} m}}}$
  • C
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g-\frac{q \sigma}{2 \varepsilon_{0} m}}}$
  • D
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g+\frac{q \sigma}{2 \varepsilon_{0} m}}}$
