Two-point charges and are separated by a distance , forming an electric dipole. Find the magnitude of the electric dipole moment. 

If the charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle with the line connecting the charges. What is the magnitude of this field if the torque exerted on the dipole has a magnitude of ?

Consider an electric dipole whose dipole moment (a vector pointing from the negative charge to the positive charge) is oriented at an angle  with respect to the y-axis. There is an external electric field of magnitude E  (independent of the field produced by the dipole) pointing in the positive y-direction. The positive and negative ends of the dipole have charges +q and -q, respectively, and the two charges are a distance d apart. The dipole has a moment of inertia I about its center of mass. It will help you to imagine that the dipole is free to rotate about a pivot through its center.
