An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field` vec E` of the magnitude `40 NC^(-1)`. Graph shows of the magnitude of the torque on the dipole versus the angle `theta` between the field `vecE` and the dipole moment `vec p`. The magnitude of dipole moment `vec P` is equal to

A

`1.25xx10^(-28)C-m`

B

`2.0xx10^(-25)C-m`

C

`2.5xx10^(-28)C-m`

D

`5.0xx10^(-28)C-m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`vec(tau)=vec(p)xxvec(E)`
`tau_(max)=pEimplies50xx10^(-28)=p.40`
`implies1.25xx10^(-28)C-m`
