A Pendulum bob of mass m and charge q is suspended by a thread of length l. The pendulum is placed in a region of a uniform electric field E directed vertically upward. If the electristatic force acting on the sphere is les than that of gravitational fore, calculate the period with which the pendulum oscillates (Assumes small oscillation)

Answer»

`T=2pisqrt(L/(g+(qE)/m))`
`T=2pisqrt(l/(g-(qE)/m))`
`T=pisqrt(l/(g-(qE)/m))`
`T=pisqrt(l/(g+(qE)/m))`

Solution :(B) Resultant force vertically DOWNWARDS `(mg-qE)`
Net acceleration

`g'=(g-(qE)/m)`
`T=2pisqrt((l/(g')))`
`T=2pisqrt(l/((g-(qE)/m)))`
