Two electric dipoles of dipole moments $1.2 \times 10^{-30} \, C \cdot m$ and $2.4 \times 10^{-30} \, C \cdot m$ are placed in two different uniform electric fields of strengths $5 \times 10^{4} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$ and $15 \times 10^{4} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$ respectively. The ratio of maximum torque experienced by the electric dipoles will be $\frac{1}{x}$. The value of $x$ is $.....$

An electric dipole is formed by two equal and opposite charges $q$ with separation $d$. The charges have the same mass $m$. It is kept in a uniform electric field $E$. If it is slightly rotated from its equilibrium orientation,then its angular frequency $\omega$ is

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.
