Two equal negative charges are fixed at the points [0,a] and [0,a] on y-axis . A positive charge Q is released from rest at the points [2a,0] on the x-axis. The charge Q will


  1. move to infinity
  2. Move to origin and rest there
  3. Undergo SHM about the origin
  4. Execute oscillatory periodic motion but not SHM

A
move to infinity
B
Undergo SHM about the origin
C
Execute oscillatory periodic motion but not SHM
D
Move to origin and rest there
Solution
Verified by Toppr


The net force is given as,
Fn=2Fcosθ
Fn=2×14πE×q×Qa2+x2×xa2+x2

Thus, the restoring force is not linear, So, the motion will not be simple harmonic motion but the motion will be oscillatory.
