A wooden block performs SHM on a frictionless surface with frequency, v0. The block carries a charge + Q on its surface. If now a uniform electrical ļ¬eld E is switched on as shown, then the SHM of the block will be
Of the same frequency and with shifted mean position
Frequency,
v0=12π√km will remain same.
An additional constant force will not change the frequency but will shift the mean position through distance qEk in the forward direction.
