उत्तर
Torque,
Potential energy,
\[\frac{\tau}{U} = \frac{\left( Ql \right)E\sin\theta}{- \left( Ql \right)E\cos\theta} = - \tan\theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - \frac{\tau}{\tan\theta}\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - \frac{\tau}{\tan {60}^o}\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - 6 J\]

An electric dipole of length 4 cm, when placed with its axis making an angle of 60° with a uniform electric field, experiences a torque of `4sqrt3`Nm. Calculate the potential energy of the dipole, if it has charge ±8 nC
Derive the expression for the electric potential due to an electric dipole at a point on its axial line.
A short electric dipole (which consists of two point charges, +q and -q) is placed at the centre 0 and inside a large cube (ABCDEFGH) of length L, as shown in Figure 1. The electric flux, emanating through the cube is:

a) `q"/"4piin_9L`
b) zero
c) `q"/"2piin_0L`
d) `q"/"3piin_0L`
It is said that the separation between the two charges forming an electric dipole should be small. In comparison to what should this separation be small?
