Two identical positive charges $Q$ each are fixed at a distance of $2a$ apart from each other. Another point charge $q_0$ with mass $m$ is placed at the midpoint between the two fixed charges. For a small displacement $x$ along the line joining the fixed charges,the charge $q_0$ executes $SHM$. The time period of oscillation of charge $q_0$ will be:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \pi^{3} \varepsilon_{0} m a^{3}}{q_{0} Q}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{q_{0} Q}{4 \pi^{3} \varepsilon_{0} m a^{3}}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi^{2} \varepsilon_{0} m a^{3}}{q_{0} Q}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{8 \pi^{3} \varepsilon_{0} m a^{3}}{q_{0} Q}}$
