A solid sphere of mass m suspended by an inextensible massless string is given  angular disturbance. The solid sphere is negatively charged. If it is allowed to  oscillate above a large positively charged metallic plate. Its period 

a
increases
b
remains the same
c
may increase or decrease
d
decreases

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The time period of oscillation is given by  T=2πlgThe effective value of g increases due to increase in attraction between positively  charged metallic plate and negatively charged metallic bob. Hence time period  decreases.
