    Why Does Displacing a Charge Lead to Simple Harmonic Motion?

    Homework Statement A charge +q of mass m is free to move along the x axis. It is in equilibrium at the origin, midway between a pair of identical point charges, +Q, located on the x axis at x = +b and x = -b. The charge at the origin is displaced a small distance x << a and released. Show that...
