List-$I$ shows four configurations,each consisting of a pair of ideal electric dipoles. Each dipole has a dipole moment of magnitude $p$,oriented as marked by arrows in the figures. In all the configurations,the dipoles are fixed such that they are at a distance $2r$ apart along the $x$-direction. The midpoint of the line joining the two dipoles is $X$. The possible resultant electric fields $\vec{E}$ at $X$ are given in List-$II$. Choose the option that describes the correct match between the entries in List-$I$ to those in List-$II$.

When is the torque on an electric dipole in an electric field maximum?

Six charges are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon as shown in the figure. The electric field on the line passing through point $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the figure at a distance of $x (>> a)$ from $O$ is

An electric dipole with dipole moment $5 \times 10^{-6} \ Cm$ is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $4 \times 10^5 \ N/C$. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is (in $J$)

An electric dipole of moment $\vec{P}$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ such that $\vec{P}$ points along $\vec{E}$. If the dipole is slightly rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane containing $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{P}$ and passing through the centre of the dipole, the dipole executes simple harmonic motion. Consider $I$ to be the moment of inertia of the dipole about the axis of rotation. What is the time period of such oscillation?
