An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field `vec(E )` of magnitude `40N//C`. Graph shows the magnitude of the square on the dipole versus the angle `theta` between the field `vec(E )` and the dipole moment `vec(p)`. The magnitude of dipole moment `vec(p)` is equal to:

A

`1.25 xx 10^(-28) C-m`

B

`2.0 xx 10^(-25) C-m`

C

`2.5 xx 10^(-28) C-m`

D

`5.0 xx 10^(-28) C-m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`vec(tau)=vec(p)xxvec(E)`
`tau_(max) =pE`
`rArr 50 xx 10^(-28)=p.40`
`rArr p=1.25 xx 10^(-28) C-m`
