A block of mass $m$ containing a net negative charge $-q$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a wall through an unstretched spring of spring constant $k$ as shown. If horizontal electric field $E$ parallel to the spring is switched on, then the maximum compression of the spring is :-
