Q.

In the figure shown A & B are two charged particles having charges q and – q respectively are placed on a nonconducting fixed horizontal smooth plane. B is fixed and A is attached to a non conducting massless spring of spring constant k. The other end of the spring is fixed. Mass of A is m, A and B are in equilibrium when the distance between them is r. Choose the correct options

Detailed Solution

Let x0 = extension in the spring when A is in equilibrium. Then,
kx0=14πϵ0q2r2....(1)
Now let A be shifted by a small distance x towards B. Then the resultant force towards A is,
Fres =kx0+xq24πϵ0(rx)2=kx0+xq24πϵ0r21xr2=kx0+xq24πϵ0r21+2xr; x<<r: Binomial expansion = k×q22πϵ0r3×; using (1) Fres =kq22π0r3× × SHM with  T=2πmkq22πϵ0r3
For real T, k>q22πϵ0r3  kmin=q22πϵ0r3
T=2πkq22πϵ0r3,kmin=q22πϵ0r3
