Two charges $+3.2 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$ and $-3.2 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$ placed at $2.4 \text{ Å}$ apart form an electric dipole. It is placed in a uniform electric field of intensity $4 \times 10^5 \text{ V/m}$. The electric dipole moment is

An electric dipole has a fixed dipole moment $\vec{P}$ which makes an angle $\theta$ with respect to the $x$-axis. When subjected to an electric field $\vec{E_1} = E\hat{i}$,it experiences a torque $\vec{T_1} = \tau\hat{k}$. When subjected to another electric field $\vec{E_2} = \sqrt{3}E\hat{j}$,it experiences a torque $\vec{T_2} = -\vec{T_1}$. The angle $\theta$ is .......$^o$.

An electric dipole of length $20 \ cm$ having $\pm 3 \times 10^{-3} \ C$ charge is placed at $60^{\circ}$ with respect to a uniform electric field and experiences a torque of magnitude $6 \ N-m$. The potential energy of the dipole is:

$A$ point electric dipole placed at the origin has a potential given by $V(r, \theta) = \frac{p \cos \theta}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$,where $\theta$ is the angle made by the position vector with the direction of the dipole. Then,
