Two charged particles each of mass $9.8 \text{ g}$ and charges $+20 \mu\text{C}$ and $-20 \mu\text{C}$ are attached to the two ends of a massless and rigid uniform non-conducting rod of length $50 \text{ cm}$. This arrangement is held in a uniform electric field of $12.1 \text{ N/C}$,such that the rod makes a very small angle with the field direction. If the rod is set free,the minimum time needed for the rod to become parallel to the direction of the electric field is ................ seconds.

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. . . . . .
