Two opposite and equal charges $4 \times 10^{-8} \, C$ are placed $2 \times 10^{-2} \, cm$ apart,forming a dipole. If this dipole is placed in an external electric field of $4 \times 10^8 \, N/C$,what are the values of the maximum torque and the work done in rotating it through $180^\circ$?

Five identical small electric dipoles are placed at a distance $r$ from an infinitely long straight wire carrying a uniform charge density $\lambda$. If they experience forces of magnitude $F_1, F_2, F_3, F_4$ and $F_5$ respectively,then:

Mention the directions of the electric field on the axis and on the equator of an electric dipole.

As shown in the figure,a particle $A$ of mass $2m$ and carrying charge $q$ is connected by a light rigid rod of length $L$ to another particle $B$ of mass $m$ and carrying charge $-q$. The system is placed in an electric field $\vec E$. The electric force on a charge $q$ in an electric field $\vec E$ is $\vec F = q \vec E$. After the system settles into equilibrium,one particle is given a small push in the transverse direction so that the rod makes a small angle $\theta_0$ with the electric field. Find the maximum tension in the rod.

When does the torque acting on an electric dipole in a uniform electric field become maximum?
