Plate is oscillating

A parallel plate capacitor is completely filled with a dielectric sheet of thickness d d and relative permittivity k k is placed on a horizontal tabletop. The lower plate is glued to the tabletop and the dielectric slab is glued to the lower plate. The plates are square of edge length l l and mass of the upper plate is m m . The plates are given a charge + q +q and q -q , then the upper plate is shifted horizontally by a small distance x x along one of its edges and set free. Find the period of oscillation of this plate. Thickness d of the dielectric is much smaller than the edge length l l .

Details: ϵ 0 m k = 1 0 6 \epsilon_0 m k = 10^{-6} , l = 100 m l=100 \text{ m} , x = 1 cm x=1 \text{ cm} , d = 1 m d=1 \text{ m} and q = 0.1 C q=0.1 \text{ C} .


The answer is 8.

The answer is t = 8 L / Q ( m k ϵ l x / d ) t=8L/Q√(mk\epsilon lx/d) .Yields t = 8 s e c t=8sec .. Hint-Due to fringing fields calculating the force might be tedious.Try using Energy Conservation.The Motion of the plate is described in terms of uniform my accelerated motion.So t = 4 ( 2 x / a ) t=4√(2x/a)

How can it oscillate if its uniformly accelerated motion?

It can The "oscillation" has been loosely stated The. Motion can obviously be periodic Further distinction would have been better however

Would you like clarify ho the hell it's going to oscillate

Really oscillation is loosely used here that's a heck of an excuse how the hell can you that dumb to digest it?
