An electric dipole has a fixed dipole moment $\vec{P}$ which makes an angle $\theta$ with respect to the $x$-axis. When subjected to an electric field $\vec{E_1} = E\hat{i}$,it experiences a torque $\vec{T_1} = \tau\hat{k}$. When subjected to another electric field $\vec{E_2} = \sqrt{3}E\hat{j}$,it experiences a torque $\vec{T_2} = -\vec{T_1}$. The angle $\theta$ is .......$^o$.

Two identical electric point dipoles have dipole moments $\overrightarrow{p}_{1} = p\hat{i}$ and $\overrightarrow{p}_{2} = -p\hat{i}$ and are held on the $x$-axis at a distance $'a'$ from each other. When released,they move along the $x$-axis with the direction of their dipole moments remaining unchanged. If the mass of each dipole is $'m'$,their speed when they are infinitely far apart is

An electric dipole consists of two particles, each of mass $1 \ kg$, separated by $1 \ m$, carrying charges $1 \ \mu C$ and $-1 \ \mu C$ respectively. It is in equilibrium in a uniform electric field of $2 \times 10^4 \ Vm^{-1}$. If it is deflected by a small angle $2^{\circ}$, the minimum time taken by it to come back again to the mean position is (in seconds): (in $\pi$)

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If an electric dipole of dipole moment $30 \times 10^{-5} \, Cm$ is enclosed by a closed surface,the net flux coming out of the surface will be zero.
Reason $R$: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
