A positive charge is moved from \(\mathrm A\) to \(\mathrm B\) in each diagram. Then:
1. | the maximum work is required to move \(q\) in figure(iii). |

3. | the minimum work is required to move \(q\) in the figure(i). |
4. | the maximum work is required to move \(q\) in figure(ii). |
An electric dipole is place at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with an electric field intensity \(2\times10^{5}~\text{N/C}\). It experiences a torque equal to \(4~\text{Nm}\). The charge on the dipole, if the dipole length is \(2~\text{cm}\), is:
