An electric dipole of moment p is placed in an electric field of intensity E. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle $$\theta $$ with the direction of the field. Assuming that the potential energy of the dipole to be zero when $$\theta $$ = 90o, the torque and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be
