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)

  1. A \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g+\left(\frac{q^2}{l^2 m}\right)}}\)
  2. B \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g-\left(\frac{q^2}{l^2 m}\right)}}\)
  3. C \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\)
  4. D \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g-\left(\frac{q^2}{l}\right)}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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., \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\).
