    We know that the time period (T) = 2π
    l

         g' = geffective
    g'g'

    Since the negatively charged bob is attracted by the positively charged plate, therefore acceleration due to gravity will increase and time period will decrease.

    Correct Option: B

  1. The equation of a simple harmonic wave is given by
    y = 3 sin
    π
    (50 t - x)
    2

    Where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to the wave velocity is​​

    y = 3 sin
    π

    2

    y = 3sin25πt -
    π
    x

    on comparing with the standard wave equation ​y = a sin (ωt – kx) ​
    Wave velocity , v =
    ω

    vpmax = 75π
    then
