For a dipole with charge $q = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, C$ and separation $d = 0.01 \, m$,calculate the maximum torque acting on this dipole if it is placed in an electric field $E = 5 \times 10^5 \, N/C$.

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-3} \, N \cdot m$
  • B
    $10 \times 10^{-3} \, N \cdot m^{-1}$
  • C
    $10 \times 10^{-3} \, N \cdot m$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^2 \, N \cdot m^2$
