Q.

A point particle of mass m is attached to one end of massless rigid non-conducting rod of length l. Another point particle of same mass is attached to the other end of the rod. The two particles carry equal charges +q and -q respectively. This arrangement is held in a region with the field E such that the rod makes an angle θ with the field direction :
