An electric dipole with dipole moment $5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C m}$ is placed in an electric field of $2 \times 10^4 \text{ N C}^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the direction of the electric field. The torque acting on the dipole is:

  • A
    $9 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N m}$
  • B
    $1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ N m}$
  • C
    $8.66 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N m}$
  • D
    $2.88 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N m}$
