Two charges each of magnitude $q$ are fixed at a distance $2d$ apart. $A$ third charge (proton) placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by a distance $x$ $(x << d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges. The proton will execute simple harmonic motion having an angular frequency: ($m =$ mass of the charged particle)

  • A
    $\left(\frac{2 q^{2}}{\pi \varepsilon_{0} m d^{3}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{\pi \varepsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{2 q^{2}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{q^{2}}{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0} m d^{3}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{q^{2}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$A$ mass $m = 20\,g$ has a charge $q = 3.0\,mC$. It moves with a velocity of $20\,m/s$ and enters a region of electric field of $80\,N/C$ in the same direction as the velocity of the mass. The velocity of the mass after $3\,s$ in this region is.......$m/s$.

$A$ simple pendulum of length $L$ is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor having an electric field $E,$ as shown in the figure. Its bob has mass $m$ and charge $q.$ The time period of the pendulum is given by:

An electron falls through a distance of $1.5 \; cm$ in a uniform electric field of magnitude $2.0 \times 10^{4} \; N C^{-1}$ [Figure $(a)$]. The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance [Figure $(b)$]. Compute the time of fall in each case. Contrast the situation with that of 'free fall under gravity'.
