Three point charges $q, -2q$ and $q$ are placed along the $x$-axis at $x = -a, 0$ and $a$ respectively. As $a \rightarrow 0$ and $q \rightarrow \infty$ while $qa^2 = Q$ remains finite,the electric field at a point $P$,at a distance $x$ $(x \gg a)$ from $x = 0$ is $E = \frac{\alpha Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 x^\beta} \hat{i}$. Then:

  • A
    $\alpha = \beta$
  • B
    $\alpha = 2\beta$
  • C
    $\alpha = \frac{2}{3}\beta$
  • D
    $\alpha = \frac{3}{2}\beta$

$A$ 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:
