An electric dipole of dipole miment `vec(p)` is placed in a uniform electric field `vec(E )`. Write the expression for the torque `vec tau` experienced by the dopole. Identify two pairs of perpendicular vectors in the expression. Show diagrammatically the orientation of hte dipole in the field for which the torque is (i) maximum and (ii) half the minimum value, and (iii) zero.
