Four charges are placed at the circumference of the dial of a clock as shown in figure. If the clock has only hour hand, then the resultant force on a positive charge $q_0$ placed at the centre, points in the direction which shows the time as 

817-1092

  • A

    $1:30$

  • B

    $7:30$

  • C

    $4:30$

  • D

    $10:30$

Positive charge $Q$ is distributed uniformly over a circular ring of radius $R$. A point particle having a mass $(m)$ and a negative charge $-q$ is placed on its axis at a distance $x$ from the centre. Assuming $x < R,$ find the time period of oscillation of the particle, if it is released from there [neglect gravity].

Assertion : Consider two identical charges placed distance $2d$ apart, along $x-$ axis. The equilibrium of a positive test charge placed at the point $O$ midway between them is stable for displacements along the $x-$ axis.

Reason: Force on test charge is zero
