    $64 \times 10^{-4} \ Nm, 64 \times 10^{-4} \ J$
  • B

  • C
    $64 \times 10^{-4} \ Nm, 32 \times 10^{-4} \ J$
  • D
    $32 \times 10^{-4} \ Nm, 64 \times 10^{-4} \ J$

Two ideal electric dipoles $A$ and $B$ having dipole moments $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ respectively are placed on a plane with their centers at $O$ as shown in the figure. At point $C$ on the axis of dipole $A$,the resultant electric field makes an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the axis. The ratio of the dipole moments of $A$ and $B$,$\frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}$ is $....$ (take $\sin 37^{\circ}=\frac{3}{5}$)

The electric dipole is situated in an electric field as shown in figure $(i)$. The dipole and electric field are both in the plane of the paper. The dipole is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the paper at point $A$ in an anticlockwise direction. If the angle of rotation is measured with respect to the direction of the electric field,then the torque for different values of the angle of rotation $\theta$ will be as represented in Fig. $(ii)$.
