Consider a mass 'm' attached with a spring oscillating in gravity free region as shown. If the mass is given a charge ' q ' and another charge ' -q ' is placed at the origin then,

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

With the charges, the electrostatic attraction depends on the separation r, not linearly on the displacement x from any point.

The net restoring force is not proportional to x, so the motion is not SHM. Hence (D).
