A dipole of moment $0\mathrm{.}50$enm is placed in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of $3\mathrm{.}0104$ N$/$C$.$ Determine the magnitude of the torque when the dipole is aligned with the electric field. Determine the magnitude of the torque when the dipole is transverse to $($perpendicular to$)$ the electric field. Determine the magnitude of the torque when the dipole makes an angle of $31\backslash$deg with the direction of the electric field. Defining the potential energy to be zero when the dipole is transverse to the electric field, find the potential energy U$1$ of the dipole in the electric field when the dipole is aligned with the electric field. Defining the potential energy to be zero when the dipole is transverse to the electric field, find the potential energy U$2$ of the dipole in the electric field when the dipole makes an angle of $31\backslash$deg with the direction of the electric field.
