Two electric dipoles of moments $p$ and $27 p$ are placed in opposite directions on a line at a distance of $24 \,cm$. The electric field will be zero at a point between the dipoles whose distance from the dipole of moment $p$ is

An electric dipole is kept on the axis of a uniformly charged ring at a distance of $R/\sqrt{2}$ from the center of the ring. The direction of the dipole moment is along the axis. The dipole moment is $P$,the charge of the ring is $Q$,and the radius of the ring is $R$. The force on the dipole is nearly:

An electric dipole is situated in an electric field as shown in the figure. The dipole and electric field are both in the plane of the paper. The dipole is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the paper at point $A$ in an anti-clockwise direction. If the angle of rotation is measured with respect to the direction of the electric field,then the torque for different values of the angle of rotation $\theta$ is correctly represented by which graph among $a, b, c, d$ given in the figure?
