Question

Maximum Torque of a dipole of dipole moment P placed in an electric field is

Answer 1

Answer:

Case 1: When Ɵ is 900 then Torque is maximum and is equal to pE which means the dipole moment should be perpendicular to the direction of the uniform electric field E. Case 2: When Ɵ is 00, then Torque is minimum.

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore, the magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole is 10−4 N m
