$A$ 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 $:$

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-9} \ Nm$
  • B
    $5 \times 10^{-3} \ Nm$
  • C
    $2.5 \times 10^{-12} \ Nm$
  • D
    $2.5 \times 10^{-9} \ Nm$
