An electric dipole of dipole momentoversetto Pis placed in a uniform electric fieldoversetto E. Obtain the expression for the torque oversetto tauexperienced by the dipole. Identify two pairs of perpendicular vectors in the expression.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The torque acting on the dipole `oversetto tau =oversetto p XX oversetto E`. For its derivation ,see ANSWER to SHORT Answer Questions
Obviously , (a) ` oversetto tau and oversetto p ,` as well as (b) ` oversetto tau and ovarsetto E ` are mutually perpendicular.
