An electric dipole with dipole moment $4 \times 10^{-14} \ C \cdot m$ is aligned at $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $5 \times 10^4 \ N/C$. The magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole 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?

Three identical dipoles are arranged as shown below. What will be the net electric field at $P$ $\left( {k = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}} \right)$?

An electric dipole of length $2 \ cm$ is placed with its axis making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to a uniform electric field of $10^{5} \ N/C$. If it experiences a torque of $8 \sqrt{3} \ Nm$,calculate the magnitude of the charge on the dipole. (Given: $\sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$)

Two electric dipoles of dipole moments $1.2 \times 10^{-30} \, C \cdot m$ and $2.4 \times 10^{-30} \, C \cdot m$ are placed in two different uniform electric fields of strengths $5 \times 10^{4} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$ and $15 \times 10^{4} \, N \cdot C^{-1}$ respectively. The ratio of maximum torque experienced by the electric dipoles will be $\frac{1}{x}$. The value of $x$ is $.....$
