An electric dipole consists of two particles, each of mass $1 \ kg$, separated by $1 \ m$, carrying charges $1 \ \mu C$ and $-1 \ \mu C$ respectively. It is in equilibrium in a uniform electric field of $2 \times 10^4 \ Vm^{-1}$. If it is deflected by a small angle $2^{\circ}$, the minimum time taken by it to come back again to the mean position is (in seconds): (in $\pi$)

Charges $-q$ and $+q$ located at $A$ and $B$,respectively,constitute an electric dipole. Distance $AB = 2a$,$O$ is the midpoint of the dipole and $OP$ is perpendicular to $AB$. $A$ charge $Q$ is placed at $P$ where $OP = y$ and $y >> 2a$. The charge $Q$ experiences an electrostatic force $F$. If $Q$ is now moved along the equatorial line to $P'$ such that $OP' = \frac{y}{3}$,the force on $Q$ will be close to: $\left( \frac{y}{3} >> 2a \right)$

In the case of the dimensions of electric field and electric dipole moment,the power of mass is respectively:
