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?
- A$2\pi \sqrt{I/pE}$
- B$2\pi \sqrt{pE/I}$
- C$\pi \sqrt{I/pE}$
- DNone of these

View Solution$A$ point particle of mass $M$ is attached to one end of a massless non-conducting rod of length $L$. Another point particle of the same mass is attached to the other end of the rod. The two particles carry charges $+q$ and $-q$ respectively. This arrangement is placed in a region of uniform electric field $E$. When the rod makes a small angle $(< 5^o)$ with the direction of the field,what is the minimum time required for the rod to become parallel to the field?

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 $E = \frac{\alpha Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 x^\beta} \hat{i}$.

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 .......$^o$.
