Two charges $-q$ each are fixed and separated by a distance $2d$. $A$ third charge $q$ of mass $m$ placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by $x$ $(x \ll d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges as shown in the figure. Show that the charge $q$ will perform simple harmonic motion with a time period $T = \left[\frac{8 \pi^{3} \epsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{q^{2}}\right]^{1 / 2}$.
