A simple pendulum of period $T$ has a metal bob which is negatively charged. If it is allowed to oscillate above a positively charged metal plate, its period will

A

Remains equal to $T$

B

Less than $T$

C

Greater than $T$

D

Infinite

Solution

(b) When a negatively charged pendulum oscillates over a positively charged plate then effective value of $g$ increases so according to $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} ,$ $T$ decreases.
