An electric dipole consists of two charges of `0.1muC` separated bu a distance of `2.0cm`. The dipole is placed in an external field of `10^(5)NC^(-1)`. What maximum torqur does the field exert on the dipole?

Explanation

To find the maximum torque exerted on an electric dipole in an external electric field, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the formula for torque on a dipole
The torque (\( \tau \)) experienced by an electric dipole in an electric field is given by the formula:
\[ \tau = \mathbf{p} \times \mathbf{E} \]
Where \( \mathbf{p} \) is the dipole moment and \( \mathbf{E} \) is the electric field. The maximum torque occurs when the angle \( \theta \) between \( \mathbf{p} \) and \( \mathbf{E} \) is \( 90^\circ \):
