Problem

An electric dipole is formed by two equal and opposite charges qq with separation dd. The charges have same mass mm. It is kept in a uniform electric field EE. If it is slightly rotated from its equilibrium orientation, then its angular frequency ω\omega is : (1) qEmd\sqrt{\frac{qE}{md}} (2) 2qEmd\sqrt{\frac{2qE}{md}} (3) 2qEmd2\sqrt{\frac{qE}{md}} (4) qE2md\sqrt{\frac{qE}{2md}}
