Four point $+ve$ charges of same magnitude $(Q)$ are placed at four corners of a rigid square frame as shown in figure. The plane of the frame is perpendicular to $Z$ axis. If a $-ve$ point charge is placed at a distance $z$ away from the above frame $(z<< L)$ then

A

$-ve$ charge oscillates along the $Z$ axis.

B

It moves away from the frame

C

It moves slowly towards the frame and stays in the plane of the frame

D

It passes through the frame only once.

Solution

(a)The negative charge oscillates, the resultant force acts as a restoring force and proportional to displacement. When it reaches the plane $XY$, the resultant force is zero and the mass moves down due to inertia. Thus oscillation is set.
