An electric dipole of moment $\vec{P}$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ such that $\vec{P}$ points along $\vec{E}$. If the dipole is slightly rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane containing $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{P}$ and passing through the centre of the dipole, the dipole executes simple harmonic motion. Consider $I$ to be the moment of inertia of the dipole about the axis of rotation. What is the time period of such oscillation?

Three charges are arranged on the vertices of a right-angled triangle as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the dipole moment of the combination in the unit of $C-cm$ is:

An electric dipole consisting of two opposite charges of $2 \times 10^{-6} \, C$ each,separated by a distance of $3 \, cm$,is placed in an electric field of $2 \times 10^5 \, N/C$. The maximum torque on the dipole will be:
