A particle of mass m carrying a charge `-q_(1)` starts moving around a fixed charge `+q_(2)` along a circulare path of radius r. Find the time period of revolution T of charge `-q_(1)`.

Answer» Electrostatic force on `-q_(1)` due to `q_(2)` will provide the necessary centripetal force, Hence,
`(kq_(1)q_(2))/(r^(2))=(mv^(2))/(r ) implies v=sqrt((kq_(1)q_(2))/(mr))`
Now, `T=(2 pi r)/(v)= sqrt((16 pi^(3)epsilon_(0)mr^(3))/(q_(1)q_(2))`.
