To find the time period of revolution of the charge -q around the fixed charge Q, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Acting on the Charge The only force acting on the charge -q is the electrostatic force due to the charge Q. This force can be described by Coulomb's Law: \[ F = \frac{k \cdot |Q \cdot (-q)|}{r^2} \] where \(k\) is Coulomb's constant, \(Q\) is the positive charge, \(q\) is the negative charge, and \(r\) is the distance between the charges. ...
