10. Torque
To make an object start rotating, a force is needed; the position and direction of the force matter as well.
The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line along which the force acts is called the lever arm.

13. Torque
The torque is defined as:

= r F

14. Torque,  Torque is perpendicular to the direction of the rotation.
Right-hand rule - The direction of the positive torque is in the direction of increasing angle)
In general, if we define torque as
 = r x F = r F sin 
Also, torque can be defined about any point using
net = (ri x Fi)
where ri is the position vector of the ith particle and Fi is the net force on the ith particle.

17. Electric Dipoles
The combination of two equal charges of opposite sign, +Q and -Q , separated by a distance l, is referred to as an electric dipole. The quantity Ql is called the dipole moment, p. The dipole moment points from the negative to the positive charge. Many molecules have a dipole moment and are referred to as polar molecules.
It is interesting to note that the value of the separated charges may be less than that of a single electron or proton but cannot be isolated.

21. Dipole in an External Field
A dipole, p = Ql, is placed in an electric field E. Next, let us analyze the direction of the torque force to the change angle , Note: By definition, positive torque always increases the value of  (I.e. move the dipole in the counterclockwise direction).
It is also important to note that the applied torque force will cause the angle  decrease (in the clockwise direction) instead of increase (counter-clockwise) about point O.   about point O is negative.

29. Electric Field Produced by a Dipole
It is interesting to note that at r >> l, the electric field decreases more rapidly for a dipole (1/r3) than for a single point charge (1/r2). This is due to the fact that at large distances the two opposite charges neutralize each other due to their close proximity
At distances where r >> l, this 1/r3 dependence also applies for points that are not on the perpendicular bisector of the dipole. + – h h h r
