The angle between the electric field and the dipole moment at any point on the equatorial plane of an electric dipole is . . . . . . . (in $^{\circ}$)

An electric dipole is placed at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with an electric field of strength $4 \times 10^5 \,N/C$. It experiences a torque equal to $8 \sqrt{3} \,Nm$. Calculate the charge on the dipole,if the dipole length is $4 \,cm$.

Two charges $+q$ and $-q$ are kept at a certain distance apart. Then, at any point on the right bisector of the line joining the two charges:

Two charges $\pm 10\; \mu C$ are placed $5.0\; mm$ apart. Determine the electric field at $(a)$ a point $P$ on the axis of the dipole $15\; cm$ away from its centre $O$ on the side of the positive charge,as shown in Figure $(a),$ and $(b)$ a point $Q, 15\; cm$ away from $O$ on a line passing through $O$ and normal to the axis of the dipole,as shown in Figure.
