An electric dipole having each charge of magnitude \(2 \mu \mathrm{C}\) is placed in an electric field of intensity \(8 \times 10^{+4} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}\). If the maximum torque acting on the dipole is \(4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m}\), the length of the dipole is

  1. A 10 mm
  2. B 25 mm
  3. C 15 mm
  4. D 20 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 25 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(p = \frac{\tau_{max}}{E}\) \(p = \frac{4 \times 10^{-3}}{8 \times 10^{+4}} = 5 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~C}-\mathrm{m}\)
