You are part of a design team assigned the task of making an electronic oscillator that will be the timing mechanism of a micro machine You start by trying to understand a simple model which is an electron moving along an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of a thin positively charged ring You need to determine how the oscillation frequency of the electron depends on the size and charge of the ring for displacements of the electron from the center of the ring which are small compared to the size of the ring A team member suggests that you first determine the acceleration of he electron along the axis as a function of the size and charge of the ring and then use that expression o determine the oscillation frequency of the electron for small oscillations
