Two identical positive charge Q each are fixed at a distance of '2a' apart from each other. Another point charge q0 with mass 'm' is placed at midpoint between two fixed charges. For a small displacement along the line joining the fixed charges, the charge q0 executes SHM. The time period of oscillation of charge q0 will be:

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

F R = { k Q q 0 ( a x ) 2 k Q q 0 ( a + x ) 2 }

= k Q q 0 { a 2 + x 2 + 2 a x a 2 x 2 + 2 a x ( a 2 x 2 ) }

F R = k Q q 0 ( 4 a x ) ( a 2 x 2 ) 2

T = 2 π a 3 m 4 k Q q 0 = 4 π 2 a 3 m * 4 π ε 0 4 Q q 0 = 4 π 3 ε 0 m a 3 Q q 0

F R = { k Q q 0 ( a ? x ) 2 ? k Q q 0 ( a + x ) 2 }

= ? k Q q 0 { a 2 + x 2 + 2 a x ? a 2 ? x 2 + 2 a x ( a 2 ? x 2 ) }

F R = ? k Q q 0 ( 4 a x ) ( a 2 ? x 2 ) 2

T = 2 ? a 3 m 4 k Q q 0 = 4 ? 2 a 3 m * 4 ? ? 0 4 Q q 0 = 4 ? 3 ? 0 m a 3 Q q 0
