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:
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
