Answer:
The dipole always tries to align in the direction of electric field so that the net torque is zero.
Explanation:
When a dipole placed in an electric field at any arbitrary angle, it experiences a torque.
Let the dipole moment is p, electric field is E and the angle is A.
The torque is given by
Torque = p E sin A
where, A is the angle between the electric field and dipole moment.
So, the dipole always tries to align in the direction of electric field so that the net torque is zero.
