As we discussed in

Torque Experienced by the dipole -

vec{	au }=vec{P}	imes vec{E}

vec{	au }=PEsin Theta

Theta =0^{circ}    	au =0

Theta =frac{pi }{2}             	au = max^{m}

- wherein

 

 T=PESin\theta\:\:\:\:\:\:=> (ql)ESin\theta

 

q=\frac{T}{ElSin\theta}\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{4}{2\times10^{5}\times0.02\times\frac{1}{2}}

\frac{4}{2\times10^{3}}=2\times10^{-3}=2mC

 


Option 1)

8 mC

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

2 mC

This option is correct.

Option 3)

5 mC

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

7 \muC

This option is incorrect.
