Write the expression for the torque experienced by an electric dipole placed in a uniform electric field.

(N/A) When an electric dipole of dipole moment $\vec{p}$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$,it experiences a torque $\vec{\tau}$ given by the cross product of the dipole moment and the electric field.
The equation is: $\vec{\tau} = \vec{p} \times \vec{E}$.
In terms of magnitude,this can be written as: $\tau = pE \sin \theta$,where $\theta$ is the angle between the dipole moment vector $\vec{p}$ and the electric field vector $\vec{E}$.
