The bob of simple pendulum is hanging vertically down from a fixed identical bob by means of a sting of length l . If both bobs are charged with a charge q each, time period of the pendulum is : (ignore the radii of the bobs)
Options
- A2 l g+ ( q^2 l^2 m )
- B2 l g- ( q^2 l^2 m )
- C2 l g
- D2 l g- ( q^2 l )
Correct answer
C. 2 l g
Step-by-step solution
There will be a electrostatic repulsion between two charged bobs, but it does not affect the motion of pendulum. Thus, time period of pendulum remains same i.e., T=2 l g .
