An electric dipole consists of two particles, each of mass $1 \ kg$, separated by $1 \ m$, carrying charges $1 \ \mu C$ and $-1 \ \mu C$ respectively. It is in equilibrium in a uniform electric field of $2 \times 10^4 \ Vm^{-1}$. If it is deflected by a small angle $2^{\circ}$, the minimum time taken by it to come back again to the mean position is (in seconds): (in $\pi$)

An electric dipole is formed by placing a charge of $4 \times 10^{-8} \ C$ at a distance of $2 \times 10^{-2} \ cm$. If it is placed in an electric field of $4 \times 10^8 \ N/C$,what is the maximum torque acting on it and the work done to rotate the dipole by $180^{\circ}$?
