Question

An electric dipole of dipole moment p is placed in a uniform electric field Ę at an angle o with it. Derive
the expression for torque (7) acting on it. Find the orientation of the dipole relative to the electric field for
which torque on it is (1) the maximum, and (in) half of the maximum.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum torque is pE

Explanation:

torque=pEsintheta

=PE

Answer 2

The torque due to the electric dipole is τ=p×E=pEsinθ

where θ, angle between the dipole and the electric field.

For maximum torque, sinθ=1

So, τmax=pE
