$A$ simple pendulum consists of a small sphere of mass $m$ suspended by a thread of length $l$. The sphere carries a positive charge $q$. The pendulum is allowed to do small oscillations in a uniform electric field $E$ with direction vertically upwards. The time period of oscillation is

  • A
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$
  • B
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m l}{q E}}$
  • C
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g-\frac{q E}{m}}}$
  • D
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g+\frac{q E}{m}}}$
