(a) Ifq> 0 and is displaced away from the centre in the plane of the ring, it will be pushed back
towards the centre.
(b) If <0 and is displaced away from the centre in the plane of the ring, it will never return to
the centre and will continue moving till it hits the ring.
(c) If <0. it will perform SHM for small displacement along the axis.
(d) at the centre of the ring is in an unstable equilibrium within the plane of the ring for q> 0.​

Answer 1

Answer:

At the centre of the ring is in an unstable equilibrium within the Place of the ring for q>0.
