Two infinite plates of uniform surface charge densities are placed perpendicular to each other so that one with a charge density σ1 = −17.6 (μCm2) is in the yz-plane and the other with a charge density σ2 = +35.2 (μCm2) is in the xz− plane, as shown in the figure. An electric dipole of dipole moment P→ = 2 k^(μCm) is placed at a point in the region of (x>0, y>0). What is the torque acting on the dipole τ→(Nm) ? (ε0 = 8.8×10−12(C2 Nm2)).

Two infinite plates of uniform surface charge densities are placed perpendicular to each other so that one with a charge density σ 1 = 17.6 ( μ C m 2 ) is in the y z -plane and the other with a charge density σ 2 = + 35.2 ( μ C m 2 ) is in the x z plane, as shown in the figure. An electric dipole of dipole moment P = 2 k ^ ( μ C m ) is placed at a point in the region of ( x > 0 , y > 0 ) . What is the torque acting on the dipole τ ( N m ) ?
( ε 0 = 8.8 × 10 12 ( C 2 N m 2 ) ) .
