Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Electric Field and Potential,Defference,Energy and Dipole MCQ (Single Correct)

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.

The correct answer is:
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.
