Dipole moment is given by \vec{P}\vec{Z}=\vec{p} \times \vec{E}
for maximum torque, \tau_{\max } \theta$ will be $90^{\circ}
\begin{aligned} & \tau=P E \sin \theta \\ & \tau_{\text {max }}=P E \times \sin 90^{\circ} \quad\left[\because \sin 90^{\circ}\right.=l \\ & \tau_{\text {max }}=P E \end{aligned}
