$A$ 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:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{8 qE }{3\,ml }}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 qE }{ ml }}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3 qE }{2\,ml }}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{8 qE }{ ml }}$

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?

An electric dipole with dipole moment $\vec{p} = \frac{p_0}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})$ is held fixed at the origin $O$ in the presence of a uniform electric field $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}$. If the potential is constant on a circle of radius $R$ centered at the origin as shown in the figure,then the correct statement$(s)$ is/are:
($\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space,$R \gg$ dipole size)
$(1)$ $R = \left(\frac{p_0}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 E_0}\right)^{1/3}$
$(2)$ The magnitude of the total electric field on any two points of the circle will be the same.
$(3)$ The total electric field at point $A$ is $\vec{E}_A = \sqrt{2} E_0(\hat{i}+\hat{j})$
$(4)$ The total electric field at point $B$ is $\vec{E}_B = 0$

Two point dipoles of dipole moments $\vec{p}_1$ and $\vec{p}_2$ are at a distance $x$ from each other,and $\vec{p}_1 \parallel \vec{p}_2$. The force between the dipoles is:

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-$II$.
