Q71 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Apr Shift 2) · Physics
A simple pendulum of length is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor having electric field , as shown in figure. Its bob has mass and charge . The time period of the pendulum is given by:


- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution

Two forces will be acting on the mass , gravity force and force by the electric field.
Thus, the effective force
From force equation,
Time period of the pendulum is
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
