उत्तर
The torque on the dipole due to the field may be zero.
Torque acting on a dipole placed in an electric field,
\[\tau = r \times F\]
\[ = rF\sin\theta,\]
where θ is the angle between the force F and the arm of the couple.
So, for θ = 0 or pi ,the torque will be zero. Hence, the amount of torque acting on the dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole in the given electric field.
