(N/A) The torque $\vec{\tau}$ experienced by an electric dipole in a uniform external electric field $\vec{E}$ is given by the cross product of the dipole moment $\vec{p}$ and the electric field $\vec{E}$:
$\vec{\tau} = \vec{p} \times \vec{E}$
In terms of magnitude,this is expressed as:
$\tau = pE \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the dipole moment vector $\vec{p}$ and the electric field vector $\vec{E}$.
To define the electric dipole moment,consider the case where the dipole is placed perpendicular to the electric field,i.e.,$\theta = 90^\circ$. Since $\sin 90^\circ = 1$,the torque becomes:
$\tau = pE$
Rearranging for $p$,we get:
$p = \frac{\tau}{E}$
Thus,the electric dipole moment is defined as the torque experienced by an electric dipole when it is placed perpendicular to a unit uniform electric field.

$A$ dipole with two electric charges of $2 \ \mu C$ magnitude each,with separation distance $0.5 \ \mu m$,is placed between the plates of a capacitor such that its axis is parallel to an electric field established between the plates when a potential difference of $5 \ V$ is applied. Separation between the plates is $0.5 \ mm$. If the dipole is rotated by $30^{\circ}$ from the axis,it tends to realign in the direction due to a torque. The value of torque is $:$

An electric dipole of moment $\vec{P}$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ such that $\vec{P}$ points along $\vec{E}$. If the dipole is slightly rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane containing $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{P}$ and passing through the centre of the dipole, the dipole executes simple harmonic motion. Consider $I$ to be the moment of inertia of the dipole about the axis of rotation. What is the time period of such oscillation?

$A$ point particle of mass $M$ is attached to one end of a massless non-conducting rod of length $L$. Another point particle of the same mass is attached to the other end of the rod. The two particles carry charges $+q$ and $-q$ respectively. This arrangement is placed in a region of uniform electric field $E$. When the rod makes a small angle $(< 5^o)$ with the direction of the field,what is the minimum time required for the rod to become parallel to the field?
