How does it move.

A point-like electric dipole (dipole moment = p) is kept at the origin, pointing along the +z direction. A point charge q having mass m is released at rest from a point on the xy plane at a distance R from the origin. Assuming that only electrical forces act, determine the subsequent motion of the point charge.

sorry replace y above by z

also i took initial start as y=0 , x=R
