A wooden block performs SHM on a frictionaless surface with frequency, `v_0`. The block carries a charge +Q on its surface. If now a uniform electric field `vecE` is switched-on as shown, then the SHM of the block will be A. of the same frequency and with shifted mean positionB. of the same frequency and with the same mean positionC. of changed frequency and with shifted mean positionD. of changed frequency and with the same mean position |
| Answer» The frequency will be the same `v=sqrt(k//m)//2pi`. Frequency is independent of any external constant. But due to the constant foce `q//E` toward right, the equilibrium position gets shifted by `qE//K` in forward direction. | |
