Angle made by \(p\) with a uniform electric field, \(\theta=30^{\circ}\) Electric field,
\(E =5 \times 10^{4} \,N \,C ^{-1}\)
Torque acting on the dipole is given by the relation,
\(\tau= pE \sin \theta\) \(=4 \times 10^{-9} \times 5 \times 10^{4} \times \sin 30\)
\(=20 \times 10^{-5} \times \frac{1}{2}=10^{-4} \,N\,m\)
Therefore, the magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole is \(10^{-4} \;N \,m\)
