an electric dipole of length 4 cm,when placed with its axis making an angle of 60 degree with a uniform electric field experiences a torque of 4Nm.calculate the magnitude of the electric field and the potential energyof the dipole ,if the dipole has charges of 8nC

τ = P X E  = PE sinθ  = charge X length of dipole X electric field X  sinθ

θ is the angle between dipole moment P and electric field E

Potential energy  = PE(1  - cos
θ)

rest is calculation
