If $E_{a}$ and $E_{q}$ represent the electric field intensity due to a short dipole at a point on its axial line and on the equatorial line at the same distance $r$ from the centre of the dipole,then

  • A
    $E_{a} = E_{q}$
  • B
    $E_{a} = \frac{1}{2} E_{q}$
  • C
    $E_{a} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} E_{q}$
  • D
    $E_{a} = 2E_{q}$

$A$ 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 $:$
