Two small spherical balls of mass $10 \ g$ each with charges $-2 \ \mu C$ and $2 \ \mu C$,are attached to two ends of a very light rigid rod of length $20 \ cm$. The arrangement is now placed near an infinite nonconducting charge sheet with a uniform charge density of $100 \ \mu C / m^2$ such that the length of the rod makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the electric field generated by the charge sheet. The net torque acting on the rod is (Take $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 / Nm^2$) (in $Nm$)

An electric dipole with dipole moment $4 \times 10^{-14} \ C \cdot m$ is aligned at $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $5 \times 10^4 \ N/C$. The magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole is:

An electric dipole has a charge of magnitude $q$ and a dipole moment $p$. It is placed in a uniform electric field $E$. If its dipole moment is aligned with the direction of the electric field, the force acting on it and its potential energy will be, respectively:

An electric dipole is formed by two equal and opposite charges $q$ with separation $d$. The charges have the same mass $m$. It is kept in a uniform electric field $E$. If it is slightly rotated from its equilibrium orientation,then its angular frequency $\omega$ is

Give the definition of electric dipole moment using the equation of torque.
