Figure shows a ball having a charge q fixed at a point A. Two identical balls having charges +q and q and mass m each are attached to the ends of a light rod of length 2a. 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:
