List of top Physics Questions on A Dipole in an Electric Field

A dipole is placed in x-y plane such that charges \(+q\) and \(-q\) are located at \(x=a\) and \(x=b\) respectively. There exists an electric field \[ \vec E = 2\hat{i}\,\frac{N}{C} \] in the region. Calculate the force \(\vec F\) and torque \(\vec \tau\) experienced by the dipole.
