An electric dipole experiences a torque ...

An electric dipole experiences a torque of `10sqrt3` Nm, when placed at an angle of `60^@` with a uniform electric field of magnitude `10^3 NC^(-1)` Calculate the charge on the dipole if its length is 3 cm.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the torque (\( \tau \)) experienced by an electric dipole in a uniform electric field. The torque is given by: \[ \tau = pE \sin \theta \] where: - \( \tau \) is the torque, ...
