Two identical positive charges are fixed on the $y$ -axis, at equal distances from the  origin $O$. A particle with a negative charge starts on the $x$ -axis at a large distance  from $O$, moves along the $+ x$ -axis, passes through $O$ and moves far away from $O$. Its acceleration $a$ is taken as positive in the positive $x$ -direction. The particle’s  acceleration a is plotted against its $x$ -coordinate. Which of the following best represents  the plot?

  • A
    816-a840
  • B
    816-b840
  • C
    816-c840
  • D
    816-d840

The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density $\lambda$ are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges $q$ and $- q$ are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the $x$ direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are)
