$A$ dipole having a dipole moment $p = 4 \, C-m$ is placed at the origin along the $x$-axis. $A$ point charge $q = 8 \, \mu C$ is fixed at $(4, 0, 0)$. Now,the dipole is rotated by an angle of $\frac{\pi}{2}$. Find the work done (in $mJ$) in rotating the dipole.

$A$ dipole comprises two charged particles of identical magnitude $q$ and opposite in nature. The mass $m$ of the positive charged particle is half of the mass of the negative charged particle $(2m)$. The two charges are separated by a distance $l$. If the dipole is placed in a uniform electric field $E$ such that the dipole axis makes a very small angle $\theta$ with the electric field $E$,the angular frequency of the oscillations of the dipole when released is given by:

Two point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are held fixed at $(-d, 0)$ and $(+d, 0)$ respectively of an $(x, y)$ coordinate system. Then:

List-$I$ shows four configurations,each consisting of a pair of ideal electric dipoles. Each dipole has a dipole moment of magnitude $p$,oriented as marked by arrows in the figures. In all the configurations,the dipoles are fixed such that they are at a distance $2r$ apart along the $x$-direction. The midpoint of the line joining the two dipoles is $X$. The possible resultant electric fields $\vec{E}$ at $X$ are given in List-$II$. Choose the option that describes the correct match between the entries in List-$I$ to those in List-$II$.
