Two small identical electrical dipoles AB and CD, each of dipole moment 'p' are kept at an angle of 120° as shown in Fig. What is the resultant dipole moment of this combination? If this  system is subjected to electric field (E) directed along +X direction, what will be the magnitude and direction of the torque acting on this?
