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?

When dipole moment $\vec{P}$ is parallel to a non-uniform electric field $\vec{E}$,the net force on the electric dipole 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 placed in a uniform electric field experiences maximum torque when the dipole is placed:

Two opposite and equal charges $4 \times 10^{-8} \, C$ are placed $2 \times 10^{-2} \, cm$ apart,forming a dipole. If this dipole is placed in an external electric field of $4 \times 10^8 \, N/C$,what are the values of the maximum torque and the work done in rotating it through $180^\circ$?
