$A$ 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 $:$

For a dipole with charge $q = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, C$ and separation $d = 0.01 \, m$,calculate the maximum torque acting on this dipole if it is placed in an electric field $E = 5 \times 10^5 \, N/C$.

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:
