Question

Four +ve point charges of same magnitude (Q) are placed at four comers of a rigid square frame as shown in figure. The plane of the frame is perpendicular to Z-axis. If a -ve point charge is placed at a distance z away from the above frame (z<<L), then

Moderate
Solution

The negative charge oscillates. The resultant force acts as a restoring force and proportional to displacement. When it reaches the plane XY, the resultant force is zero and the mass moves down due to inertia. Thus, oscillation is set.
