An electric dipole when held at 300 with respect to a uniform electric field of 104 N/Cexperienced a Torque of 9 x 10-26 Nm. Calculate dipole moment of the dipole?

Torque on the dipole in the electric field is:τ =  PE sinθwhere θ is the angle between dipole moment(p) and electric field (E)9×10-26= P×104×sin309×10-26×2104 = PP = 1.8×10-29 Cm
