The electric field $\vec{E}$ at a point at a distance $r$ from the axis of a dipole is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{2\vec{p}}{r^3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \times 2\vec{p} r^3$
  • C
    $\frac{\vec{p} r^3}{4\pi\epsilon_0}$
  • D
    $\frac{\vec{p}}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^3}$

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

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If an electric dipole of dipole moment $30 \times 10^{-5} \, Cm$ is enclosed by a closed surface,the net flux coming out of the surface will be zero.
Reason $R$: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
