Question

**Derive an expression for the torque acting on an electric dipole
of dipole moment p placed in a uniform
electric field E along which the torque acts Express it in the
vector form and point out the direction along
which it acts Identify the orientation of the dipole in the
electric field, in which it attains a stable
equilibrium
