A positive point charge +Q is fixed in space. A negative point charge -q of mass m revolves around fixed charge in an elliptical orbit. The fixed charge+Q is at one focus of the ellipse. The only force acting on the negative charge is the electrostatic force due to the positive charge. Then which of the following statement is true?
