An electric dipole is kept on the axis of a uniformly charged ring at a distance of $R/\sqrt{2}$ from the center of the ring. The direction of the dipole moment is along the axis. The dipole moment is $P$,the charge of the ring is $Q$,and the radius of the ring is $R$. The force on the dipole is nearly:

An electric dipole is formed by placing a charge of $4 \times 10^{-8} \ C$ at a distance of $2 \times 10^{-2} \ cm$. If it is placed in an electric field of $4 \times 10^8 \ N/C$,what is the maximum torque acting on it and the work done to rotate the dipole by $180^{\circ}$?
