Q.

A block having mass m and charge q is connected by spring of force constant k. The block lies on a frictionless horizontal track and a uniform electric field E acts on system as shown. The block is released from rest when spring is unstretched (at x=0 ). Then

A block of mass m having charge q is attached to a spring of spring  constant k. This arrangement is placed in uniform electric field E on  smooth horizontal surface as shown

Detailed Solution

qExmax=12kxmax2   xmax=2qEk

At Equilibrium, we have

qE=kxeq    xeq =qEk

Amplitude of oscillation is equal to the displacement of block from the mean position, So, amplitude is

A=2qEk-qEk=qEk
