1) the forces experienced by the 2 charges constituting the electric dipole when placed in an uniform external electric field are equal and opposite in nature, the net force on the dipole is zero.
2) angle of rotation = 180
than
torque = pE sin180 = 0
No torque act on the dipole when the moment of electric dipole is parallel to the electric field.
