Detailed Solution

Since the dipole is placed in uniform electric field , net force experienced by the dipole is zero.

Consider a point  at a radial distance r , whose position vector makes an angle θ with p.If the point lies on a spherical equipotential surface with its centre at the centre of the dipole , then tangential component of electric field at P must be zero. 

Therefore , 14πε0P sin θr3 -E0sin θ = 0  r = P4πε0 E013
