 dipole moment vector and electric field vector
2  torque and electric field vectors
i) when angle θ = 90° between p→ and E→ then torque is maximum
ii) when angle θ = 30° between p→ and E→ then torque is half of the maximum value
iii) when angle θ = 0° between p→ and E→ then torque is zero
This can be visualised from the diadram shown
