Question

A charge q is uniformly distributed on a thin rod of mass m and length I that stays at rest in free space. Two regions of uniform electric field of intensity E are created on both sides of the rod as shown in the figure. In the region of width L where the rod is initially placed, there is no electric field. Now the rod is projected along its length so that it cannot enter completely into any of the regions of electric field. Find period of oscillations of the rod as a function of the maximum distance xm entered by a leading end of the rod into a region of electric field.

In the region of width L where the rod is initially placed, there is no
electric field. Now the rod is projected along its length so that it cannot
enter completely into any of the regions of electric field. Find period of
oscillations of the rod as a function of the maximum distance xm entered
by a leading end of the rod into a region of electric field.
