As we have learned

Oscillation of dipole -

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{PE}}

- wherein

I - Moment of Inertia of dipole.

 

 

When dipole is given a small angular displacement q  about it's equilibrium position, the restoring torque will be

\tau = - pE \sin \theta= -pE\theta      (as sinq = q)

or I\frac{d^2\theta }{dt^2}= -pE\theta     (as \tau = I\alpha I\frac{d^2\theta }{dt^2} )

or \frac{d^2\theta }{dt^2}= \omega ^2\theta  with \frac{pE}{I}\Rightarrow \omega = \sqrt{\frac{pE}{I}} 

 


Option 1)

\left ( \frac{pE}{I} \right )^{1/2}

Option 2)

\left ( \frac{pE}{I} \right )^{3/2}

Option 3)

\left ( \frac{I}{pE} \right )^{1/2}

Option 4)

\left ( \frac{p}{IE} \right )^{1/2}
