A body of mass \(M\) and a charge \(q\) is connected to a spring of spring constant \(k.\) It oscillates along the \(x\text{-direction}\) about its equilibrium position, taken to be at \(x = 0,\) with an amplitude \(A.\) An electric field \(E\) is applied along the \(x\text{-direction}. \)
Which of the following statements is correct?
1. The total energy of the system is \(\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2+\frac{1}{2}\frac{q^2E^2}{k}.\)
2. The new equilibrium position is at a distance \(\frac{2qE} {k}\) from \(x = 0.\)
3. The new equilibrium position is at a distance \(\frac{qE} {2k}\) from \(x = 0.\)
4. The total energy of the system is \(\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2-\frac{1}{2}\frac{q^2E^2}{k}.\)
