Three point charges $+q$,$-2q$ and $+q$ are placed at points $(x = 0, y = a, z = 0)$,$(x = 0, y = 0, z = 0)$ and $(x = a, y = 0, z = 0)$ respectively. The magnitude and direction of the electric dipole moment vector of this charge assembly are

An electric dipole is placed at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with an electric field of strength $4 \times 10^5 \,N/C$. It experiences a torque equal to $8 \sqrt{3} \,Nm$. Calculate the charge on the dipole,if the dipole length is $4 \,cm$.

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. . . . . .

The distance between the two charges $+q$ and $-q$ of a dipole is $r$. On the axial line at a distance $d$ from the centre of the dipole,the electric field intensity is proportional to:
