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: $\sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$)

  • A
    $7 \times 10^{-3} \ C$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^{-3} \ C$
  • C
    $9 \times 10^{-3} \ C$
  • D
    $16 \times 10^{-3} \ C$

$A$ dipole with two electric charges of $2 \ \mu C$ magnitude each,with separation distance $0.5 \ \mu m$,is placed between the plates of a capacitor such that its axis is parallel to an electric field established between the plates when a potential difference of $5 \ V$ is applied. Separation between the plates is $0.5 \ mm$. If the dipole is rotated by $30^{\circ}$ from the axis,it tends to realign in the direction due to a torque. The value of torque is $:$
