We are assuming that the charge $+q_2$ is fixed,

The centripetal acceleration of the charge $-q_1$ will be provided by the coulombic attraction by the other charge.
$\implies \dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$
$\implies v=\sqrt{\dfrac{q_1q_2}{4\pi m\epsilon_0r}}$
Hence the time period of revolution= $\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}=\sqrt{\dfrac{16\pi^3 m\epsilon_0 r^3}{q_1q_2}}$

Dear student,

Please find the answer to your question.

The coulombic force will be the source of centripetal force, hence both are equal.

On solving this we get, Period of revolution, T = √16π³mε₀r³/q₁q₂

Thanks and regards,
