An electric dipole is an arrangement of two equal charges of equal magnitude but opposite nature, separated by some fixed distance.

Now consider a dipole enclosed inside a closed surface S. The flux through the surface S is zero.

An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges of magnitude $1 μ C$ separated by a distance of 2cm. The dipole is placed in an electric field $10^{- 5} V m^{- 1}$ . The maximum torque that the field exerts on the dipole is:
