<p>Before I ask anything, I'd to tell any administrators reading this that the last time I logged in was 01-01-1970 at 12:00 AM. Perhaps the technical managers can be notified. =)</p>
<p>Ok, now to the question. I was drawing electric field diagrams when this crossed my mind: place a test charge on a line equidistant from two negative charges above or below the intersection of this line with the line joining the two charges. Will the charge oscillate forever? (Am I overlooking something, or does this defy the law of conversation of energy?)</p>
