Question
Two equal charges - q are fixed at point (0, - a) and (0, a) on y-axis. A positive charge Q is released from the rest at the point (2a, 0) on x-axis. The charge Q will
Options
A.excute simple harmonic motion about the origin
B.move to the origin and remain at rest
C.move to infinity
D.excutes oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion
Solution
Motion is simple harmonic if Q is released from a point not very far from the origin on x-axis. Otherwise motion is perodic but not simple harmonic.
