An electric dipole of dipole moment $\vec{P}$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$. Which of the following statements are correct?
Statement $I$: The torque on the dipole is $\vec{\tau} = \vec{P} \times \vec{E}$

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
