Two indentical point charges having magnitude q each are placed as shown if fig. If we place a negative cahrge (of magnitude -q and mass m)at the midpoint of charges and displaced along the x-axis, examine whether it will perform simpe harmonic motion. If yes then find the time period of oscillation of the particle.
