Two equal negative charges $-q$ are fixed at the points $(0, a)$ and $(0, -a)$ on the $Y$-axis. $A$ positive charge $Q$ is released from rest at the point $(2a, 0)$ on the $X$-axis. The charge $Q$ will:

  • A
    Execute simple harmonic motion about the origin
  • B
    Move to the origin and remain at rest
  • C
    Move to infinity
  • D
    Execute oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of length $l$ are initially a distance $d$ $(d \ll l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charge begins to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result,the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v$. Then,as a function of distance $x$ between them,
