Question 11 Mark
Why is the necessary for a pendulum performing simple harmonic motion that its amplitude be less than its length?
Answer
Since $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ in the formula of that $(\sin \theta=$ $\theta$ ) hence it is true only when $\theta$ is very small i.e. the dimension is less in comparison to the length
$ \because \quad \theta=\frac{\text { dimension }}{\text { length }} $

Question 51 Mark
The oscillator of a pendulum is negatively charged and a positively charged conductor plate is placed below it. The pendulum is made to oscillate. What will be the effect on the time period of the pendulum?
Answer
Attraction due to electric field between oscillator and plate. It will take force. Therefore, the effective value of g will increase, due to which the period will decrease.
