The figure shows four orientations of an electric dipole in an external field. For each of the four dipoles, give the angle between the p vector (dipole moment) and the E vector (electric field vector) that is used in the formula for torque: torque = p E sin (phi) where phi is the angle between the p and E vectors. For example, how do you know if you use theta or 180 - theta for orientation (1); do you use theta or negative theta for orientation 4?
