An electric dipole of moment $p$ is placed in an electric field of intensity $E$. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle $\theta$ with the direction of the field. Assuming that the potential energy of the dipole is zero when $\theta = 90^o$,the torque and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be

From which law and principle can the electric field of an electric dipole be obtained?

An electrical dipole coincides on the $z$-axis and its midpoint is at the origin of the coordinate system. The electric field at an axial point at a distance $z$ from the origin is $\vec{E}(z)$ and the electric field at an equatorial point at a distance $y$ from the origin is $\vec{E}(y)$. Here $z = y \gg a$,so $\left| \frac{\vec{E}(z)}{\vec{E}(y)} \right| = . . . . . . . .$.
