Question

Write the torque experienced by a dipole in uniform external electric field. What are the conditions for

maximum and minimum torque in this case ?​

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. ... Case 3: When Ɵ is 300, then Torque is pE/2.
