two identical charges of charge (q) and placed at (-a,0) and (a,0) same nature charge particle is placed at - Physics - Electric Charges And Fields

Question

two identical charges of charge (q) and placed at (-a,0) and (a,0)
same nature charge particle is placed at origin it executes S H M
if it is displayed in
a) x direction
b) y- direction
c) at an angle of 45 degree from x axis
d) along perpendicular to the plane

Since the same nature charge is placed at the originand two charges q each are placed at points -a, 0and a, 0 so they will exert same force of repulsion onthe charge placed at the origin
When the charge placed at the origin is slightly displacedthen it will execute S
 H  M
 along x-axis because this chargeis acted upon by two equal and opposite repelling forces
Therefore the correct answer is option a x direction

two identical charges of charge (q) and placed at (-a,0) and (a,0). same nature charge particle is placed at origin. it executes S.H.M if it is displayed in a) x direction b) y- direction c) at an angle of 45 degree from x axis d) along perpendicular to the plane
