Two point charges $-q$ and $+q$ are placed at a distance of $L$,as shown in the figure. The magnitude of electric field intensity at a distance $R$ $(R \gg L)$ varies as:

  • A
    $1/R^3$
  • B
    $1/R^4$
  • C
    $1/R^6$
  • D
    $1/R^2$

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

An electric dipole has the magnitude of its charge as $q$ and its dipole moment is $p$. It is placed in a uniform electric field $E$. If its dipole moment is along the direction of the field,the force on it and its potential energy are respectively

An electric dipole of length $0.5 \text{ }\mu\text{m}$ is placed with its axis making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with a uniform electric field of $10^4 \text{ V/m}$. If it experiences a torque of $5 \times 10^{-9} \text{ Nm}$, the magnitude of the charge on the dipole is (given $\sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5$). (in $\text{ }\mu\text{C}$)
