Question

An electric dipole when held at  with respect to a uniform electric field of experienced a Torque of . Calculate dipole moment of the dipole?

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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
