One end of a spring of negligible unstretched length and spring constant $k$ is fixed at the origin $(0,0)$. $A$ point particle of mass $m$ carrying a positive charge $q$ is attached at its other end. The entire system is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. When a point dipole $\overrightarrow{p}$ pointing towards the charge $q$ is fixed at the origin,the spring gets stretched to a length $\ell$ and attains a new equilibrium position. If the point mass is now displaced slightly by $\Delta \ell \ll \ell$ from its equilibrium position and released,it is found to oscillate at frequency $\frac{1}{\delta} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$. The value of $\delta$ is. . . . . .
