An electric dipole having point charges +q and -q, separated by a fixed distance d is kept under the influence of a uniform electric field E, such that the axis of the dipole is making an angle θ=45° with the direction of E, as shown in the figure. If the electric dipole is allowed to rotate in the xy-plane with its center being stationary, what is the magnitude of the net torque acting on the electric dipole?
