An electric dipole consists of charges +2e and-2e separated by 0.77 nm. It is in an electric field of strength 4.40×106 N/C. Calculate the magnitude of the torque on the dipole when the dipole moment has the following orientations.
(a) Parallel to the field
(b) Perpendicular to the field
(c) Antiparallel to the field
An electric dipole with dipole moment is aligned at 30˚ with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude . Calculate the magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole.
