An electric dipole is placed at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ in a non-uniform electric field. The electric dipole will experience:

  • A
    $A$ net force in the direction of the electric field
  • B
    $A$ net force in the direction of the electric field and a torque
  • C
    $A$ torque only
  • D
    $A$ net force and a torque

$A$ dipole comprises two charged particles of identical magnitude $q$ and opposite in nature. The mass $m$ of the positive charged particle is half of the mass of the negative charged particle $(2m)$. The two charges are separated by a distance $l$. If the dipole is placed in a uniform electric field $E$ such that the dipole axis makes a very small angle $\theta$ with the electric field $E$,the angular frequency of the oscillations of the dipole when released is given by:
