An electric dipole of moment $\vec P$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec E$ such that $\vec P$ points along $\vec E$ . If the dipole is slightly rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane containing $\vec E$ and $\vec P$ and passing through the centre of the dipole, the dipole executes simple harmonic motion. Consider $I$ to be the moment of inertia of the dipole about the axis of rotation. What is the time period of such oscillation?
