Dipole moment, \mathrm{P=qd}

             \begin{aligned} & P=0.01 \times 0.4 \times 10^{-3} \\ & P=4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{m} \end{aligned}

Torque,

\begin{aligned} \tau & =\mathrm{pE} \sin \theta \\ \tau & =4 \times 10^{-6} \times\left(10 \times 10^{-5}\right) \times \sin 30^{\circ} \\ \tau & =2 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m} \end{aligned}
