Problem

A point charge −q-q revolves around a fixed charge +q+q in an elliptical orbit. The minimum and maximum distances of the revolving charge from the fixed charge are r1r_1 and r2r_2, respectively. The mass of the revolving particle is mm, where q>0q>0. Assume no gravitational effects. Find the velocity of the revolving charge at distances r1r_1 and r2r_2 from the fixed charge.
