$A$ point particle of mass $M$ is attached to one end of a massless non-conducting rod of length $L$. Another point particle of the same mass is attached to the other end of the rod. The two particles carry charges $+q$ and $-q$ respectively. This arrangement is placed in a region of uniform electric field $E$. When the rod makes a small angle $(< 5^o)$ with the direction of the field,what is the minimum time required for the rod to become parallel to the field?

When three electric dipoles are near each other,they each experience the electric field of the other two,and the three-dipole system has a certain potential energy. The figure below shows three arrangements $(1)$,$(2)$,and $(3)$ in which three electric dipoles are side by side. All three dipoles have the same magnitude of electric dipole moment,and the spacings between adjacent dipoles are identical. If $U_1$,$U_2$,and $U_3$ are potential energies of the arrangements $(1)$,$(2)$,and $(3)$ respectively,then:
