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:

$A$ charge is placed on the axis of an electric dipole and experiences a force $F$. If the distance is doubled,what will be the new force?

An electric dipole of moment $\vec{P}$ is lying along a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$. The work done in rotating the dipole through $\frac{\pi}{3}$ radians is:

One end of a spring of negligible unstretched length and spring constant $k$ is fixed at the origin $(0,0)$. $A$ point particle of mass $m$ carrying a positive charge $q$ is attached at its other end. The entire system is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. When a point dipole $\overrightarrow{p}$ pointing towards the charge $q$ is fixed at the origin,the spring gets stretched to a length $\ell$ and attains a new equilibrium position. If the point mass is now displaced slightly by $\Delta \ell \ll \ell$ from its equilibrium position and released,it is found to oscillate at frequency $\frac{1}{\delta} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$. The value of $\delta$ is. . . . . .
