A point particle of mass M is attached to one end of a massless rigid non-conducting rod of length L. Another point particle of the same mass is attached to the other end of the rod. The two particles carry charges `+q` and `-q` respectively. This arrangement is held in a region of a uniform electric field E such that the rod makes a small angle `theta` (say of about 5 degree) with the field direction, fig. Find an expression for the minimum time needed for the rod to become parrallel to the field after it is set free.

Two charged particles each of mass 9.8 g and charges + 20 mu C and -20 mu C are attached to the two ends of a massless and rigid uniform non-conducting rod of length 50 cm. This arrangement is held in a uniform electric field of 12.1 NC^(-1) 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.
