An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges of magnitude `1 muC` (micro-coulomb) separated by a distance of 2 cm . The dipole is placed in an electric field of `10^(5) V m^(-1)`. (a) What maximum torque does the field exert on the dipole ? (b) How much work must an external agent do to turn the dipole end for end , starting from a position of alignment `theta = 0` ?
