Answer:
T = 1.12 10⁻⁷ s
Step-by-step explanation:
This exercise must be solved in parts. Let's start looking for the electric field in the axis of the ring.
All the charge dq is at a distance r
dE = k dq / r²
Due to the symmetry of the ring, the field perpendicular to the axis is canceled, leaving only the field in the direction of the axis, if we use trigonometry
cos θ =
dEₓ = dE cos θ
cos θ = x / r
substituting
dEₓ =
DEₓ = k dq x / r³
let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance r
r² = x² + a²
where a is the radius of the ring
we substitute
dEₓ =
we integrate
∫ dEₓ =k \frac{x}{(x^2 + a^2 ) ^{3/2} } ∫ dq
Eₓ =

In the exercise indicate that the electron is very central to the center of the ring
x << a
Eₓ =
if we expand in a series
we keep the first term if x<<a
Eₓ =
the force is
F = q E
F =

this is a restoring force proportional to the displacement so the movement is simple harmonic,
F = m a
the solution is of type
x = A cos (wt + Ф)
with angular velocity
w² =
angular velocity and period are related
w = 2π/ T
we substitute
4π² / T² = \frac{keQ}{m a^3}
T = 2π
let's calculate
T = 2π
T = 2π pi

T = 2π 17.9 10⁻⁹ s
T = 1.12 10⁻⁷ s
