Question
An electric dipole of moment p is placed in an electric field of intensity E. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle $\theta $ with the direction of the field. Assuming that the potential energy of the dipole to be zero when $\theta $ = 90o, the torque and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be
pEsin$\theta $,  $-$pEcos$\theta $
pEsin$\theta $,  $-$2pEcos$\theta $
pEsin$\theta $, 2pEcos$\theta $
pEcos$\theta $,  $-$pEsin$\theta $
