A point particle of mass M attached to one end of a massless rigid non-conducting rod of length I. 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 θ (say of about 5 degrees) with the field direction. Find an expression for the minimum time needed for the rod to become parallel to the field after it is set free.
