Dipole Moment
24. Electric Force & Field; Gauss' Law / Dipole Moment / Problem 3
An electric dipole is formed by two point charges of equal magnitude but opposite signs, ±q, separated by a distance s. The dipole is placed in a uniform electric field E at an angle θ with respect to the direction of the field. Determine an expression for the torque on the dipole in terms of dipole moment p and electric field E.
