Q.

Figure shows a smooth non-conducting rod of radius r charged with uniform linear charge density λ, fixed horizontally. A neutral and smooth ring Q of mass M can slide freely on the rod which happens to just fit in it, and P is a non-conducting particle having a mass m and charge q, attached to the ring Q by means of a non-conducting and inextensible string of length R. P is released from the position shown in figure, when the string becomes vertical

The particle P executes its motion within the influence of two conservative fields, one the gravitational field of earth and the other the electrostatic field of the charged horizontal rod.
The loss in gravitational and electrostatic potential energy of the system appears as gain in its kinetic energy.
As the work done by the tension in the string is zero, we have.
 Loss  in  G.PE+Loss  in  E.PE=Gain  in  KE...(i)
Now, loss in G.PE=mgR
And loss in E.PE=qrr+R(λdx2πε0x)
=qλ2πε0ln(1+Rr)   or,     v2(1+mM)=2gR+qλπε0mln(1+Rr)

If v’ and v be the velocities attained by the ring Q and particle P, when the string becomes vertical then gain in

KE=12M'2+12mv2   or  v=[(1+mM)1(2gR+qλπε0mln(1+Rr))]1/2

Since, there is no force (external) acting on the system horizontal, so applying, the law of conservation of momentum

Mv'=mv   or   v'=mvM Gain  in  KE=mv22(1+mM) From  eqn.(i), mgR+qλ2πε0ln(1+Rr)=12×mv2(1+mM)

If T be the required tension in the string, then, the net force toward the centre of the circular path, acting on the charged particle (vertically up) will be
T=mgqE Where     E=λ2πε0(r+R)=mvnet2R
From, mechanics of circular motion,
Or  T=mg+qλ2πε0(r+R)+mv2R(1+mM)2
