A wooden block performs SHM on a frictionless surface with frequency, v 0 . The block carries a charge +Q on its surface. If now a uniform electric field E is switched-on as shown, then the SHM of the block will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The frequency will be same f = 
but due to the constant qE force, the equilibrium position gets shifted by 
in forward direction.
