I used the equation torque = dipole magnitude x E. the dipole came in units 2.5 nC . m, the field as 3.6 MN/C. I took the n to represent nano ^ -9 and M as Mega ^ 6. I did the appropriate conversions to have the product of the two come in units mN.m in which the program wants the answer...
There is a two part problem that I'm struggling with.
1) A dipole with a moment of 2.5 nC . m is oriented 33 degrees from a field with strength 3.6 MN/C.
What is the magnitude of the torque on the dipole? ____ mN . m
I know the equation T = qd x E sin (theta) where qd is the given dipole...
