Application +4 | -1

An electric dipole, when held at

30^{\circ}

with respect to a uniform electric field of

10^4 \mathrm{~NC}^{-1}

experiences a torque of

9 \times 10^{-26} \mathrm{~Nm}

. Calculate dipole moment of the dipole.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

1.8 \times 10^{-29} \mathrm{~Cm}

Option C (

1.8 \times 10^{-29} \mathrm{~Cm}

) is correct because it is the calculated dipole moment using the given torque, electric field, and angle.
