10) Charge Q of mass m revolves around a point a charges q due to electrostatic attraction. Show that its period of revolution is given by
Dear Student,
Since the charge particle is moving along a circular path, a centripetal force , , must act on it. where . The only force that acts is the electrostatic force of attraction between Q and q, which is
Thus, for circular motion of the charged particle,
