  1. Question 1

    Q1. An electric dipole with moment p = 4×10⁻⁶ C·m experiences a torque of 1.2×10⁻³ N·m in a 300 N/C field. What is the angle between p and E?

    • A) 30°
    • B) 45°
    • C) 60°
    • D) 90°

    Answer: 30°

    Explanation: τ = pE sinθ. Option B uses cosine instead of sine in calculation.
