Two small spherical balls of mass $10 \ g$ each with charges $-2 \ \mu C$ and $2 \ \mu C$,are attached to two ends of a very light rigid rod of length $20 \ cm$. The arrangement is now placed near an infinite nonconducting charge sheet with a uniform charge density of $100 \ \mu C / m^2$ such that the length of the rod makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the electric field generated by the charge sheet. The net torque acting on the rod is (Take $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 / Nm^2$) (in $Nm$)

$A$ 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 $:$
