Question:

The water molecule is a permanent dipole with a dipole moment of \(6.186 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{C} \cdot \mathrm{m}\). If a single water molecule were oriented such that its dipole moment is along the \(z\) axis, what torque is caused on it by the electric force due to an \(8500-\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}\) electric field if that field is in the \(x z\) plane and directed \(42^{\circ}\) above the \(x\) axis?
