Question
An electric dipole of moment ′p′ is placed in an electric field of intensity ′E′. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle θ with the direction of the field. Assuming thatthe potential energy of the dipole to be zero when θ = 90o, the torque and the potential energy of thedipole will respectively be

B.pE sinθ, - pE cosθ
C.pE sinθ, - 2pE cosθ
D.pE sinθ, 2pE cosθ
