An electric dipole with dipole moment $2 \times 10^{-10} \text{ C m}$ is aligned at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of a uniform electric field of $10^4 \text{ N C}^{-1}$. The magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole is:

  • A
    $10^{-6} \text{ N m}$
  • B
    $10^{-5} \text{ N m}$
  • C
    $10^{-4} \text{ N m}$
  • D
    $10^{-3} \text{ N m}$
