An electric dipole consists of charges +2e and -2e separated by 0.97 nm. It is in an electric field of strength 3.3 x 10% N/C. Calculate the magnitude of the torque on the dipole when the dipole moment is (a) parallel to, (b) perpendicular to, and (c) antiparallel to the electric field. (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units (c) Number i Units
