The force experienced by an electric charge is given as, F=qEma=qEa=mqE Substitute the values in above expression. a=0.042×10−6×4.2×104m/s2a=2.1m/s2 The expression of time period in absence of an electric field is, T0=2πgl=2π10l The expression of time period in presence of an electric field is, T1=2πael=2πael=2πa+gl=2π12.1l Here, the effective acceleration on bob is ae The ratio of time period is, T1T0=1012.1=1011T1=1110×2044=2s The time taken to complete 15 oscillation is, T1=2s×15=30s
