Adipole of moment 0.5 e·nm is placed in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 8 times 104 n/c. what is the magnitude of the torque on the dipole when (a) the dipole is parallel to the electric field,

The net torque is zero

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dipole is compose of two equal but oposite charges e, and it cam be represented by a rod with one end having a charge e and the other end with a charge of -e. Notice that the dipole is parallel to the electric field thus the force felt by both of the charges will be parallel to the electric field. This means that there will be no components of the forces that are perpendicular to the rod which is a requirement for it to have a torque.

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
