Two identical small balls each have a mass m and charge q. When placed in a hemispherical bowl of radius R with frictionless, nonconductive walls, the beads move, and at equilibrium the line joining the balls is horizontal and the distance between them is R(see figure). Neglect any induced charge on the hemispherical bowl. Then the charge on each bead is

A block of mass m is suspended vertically with a spring of spring constant k. The block is made to oscillate in a gravitation field. Its time period is found to be T. Now the space between the plates is made gravity free and an electric field E is produced in the downward direction. Now the block is given a charge q. The new time period of oscillation is,
