Assertion $:-$ An electric dipole experiences maximum force in a uniform electric field,when it is placed with its axis at right angles to the field direction.
Reason $:-$ When the axis of a dipole is perpendicular to a uniform external electric field,then torque acting on it will be zero.

Consider a positively charged infinite cylinder with uniform volume charge density. An electric dipole consisting of $+Q$ and $-Q$ charges attached to opposite ends of a massless rod is oriented as shown in the figure. At the instant as shown in the figure, the dipole will experience,
