What is a point dipole?

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 $\pi$)

Two charges $+q$ and $-q$ are placed at a distance $b$ apart as shown in the figure. The electric field at a point $P$ on the perpendicular bisector as shown is

From which law and principle can the electric field of an electric dipole be obtained?
