A charge of +q coulomb is carried bya wooden block , which when attached to a stretched spring as shown in the adjoining figure and released performs S.H.M of frequency n. If niw a uniform electric field vecE is switched on then the block will performS.H.M of

Answer»

Same frequency , with its mean POSITION shifted.
Same frequency , with same mean position.
different frequency , with its mean position shifted.
different frequency , with same mean psotion .

Solution :Force exerted on charge +q by electric field of INTENSITY `vec(E )` is
`vec(F) = qvec(E )`
in the direction of electric field.
The force F exerted by the electric field is CONSTANT
and thus, a constant force is added to the potential applied force on the block, SO, only the mean position will CHANGE but the frequency of OSCILLATION will remain same.
