Figure shows a ball having a charge \(q\) fixed at a point $\mathrm{A}$. Two identical balls having charges \(+q\) and \(–q\) and mass \(‘m’\) each are attached to the ends of a light rod of length $\mathrm{}$\(2 a\). The rod is free to rotate about a fixed axis perpendicular to the plane of the paper and passing through the mid-point of the rod. The system is released from the situation as shown in the figure. The angular velocity of the rod when the rod becomes horizontal will be:
