A simple pendulum consists of a small sphere of mass `m` suspended by a thread of length `l`. the sphere carries a positive charge `q`. The pendulum is placed in a uniform electric field of strength `E` directed vertically upwards. With what period will pendulum oscillate if the electrostatic force acting on the sphere is less than the gravitational force ?
