An electric dipole is placed along the $x$-axis with its center at the origin. The line $OP$ makes an angle of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ with the $x$-axis. If the electric field at point $P$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,then $\theta$ is equal to:

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.
