An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ of magnitude $40\ N/C$. The graph shows the magnitude of the torque $\tau$ on the dipole versus the angle $\theta$ between the field $\vec{E}$ and the dipole moment $\vec{p}$. The magnitude of the dipole moment $\vec{p}$ is equal to:

  • A
    $1.25 \times 10^{-28}\ C\cdot m$
  • B
    $2.0 \times 10^{-25}\ C\cdot m$
  • C
    $2.5 \times 10^{-28}\ C\cdot m$
  • D
    $5.0 \times 10^{-28}\ C\cdot m$

An electric dipole of moment $p$ is placed in an electric field of intensity $E$. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle $\theta$ with the direction of the field. Assuming that the potential energy of the dipole is zero when $\theta = 90^o$,the torque and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be
