Dear student
 
As we know
 

Fe=Centripital force

k*q1*q2/r2 = Mrw2  [w=omega]

w2= k*q1*q2/Mr3

(2Π/T )2= k*q1*q2/Mr3

T2 = 4ΠMr3/k*q1*q2

T = (4ΠMr3/k*q1*q2)1/2

In case of any difficulty, please feel free to contact.

Kq1*q2/r2 = mv2/r
v = \sqrt{K*q1*q2/m*r}
so T = 2\pir/v = 2\pir(\sqrt{m*r/K*q1*q2}
Hope it clears.
