An electric dipole in a uniform electric field experiences (When it is placed at an angle \theta with the field)

  • Option 1)

    Force and torque both

  • Option 2)

          Force but no torque

  • Option 3)

    Torque but no force

  • Option 4)

    No force and no torque

 

Answers (1)

As we have learned

Torque Experienced by the dipole -

\vec{\tau }=\vec{P}\times \vec{E}

\vec{\tau }=PE\sin \Theta

\Theta =0^{\circ}    \tau =0

\Theta =\frac{\pi }{2}             \tau = max^{m}

- wherein

 

  In uniform electric field dipole experience only torque, but no force.

 


Option 1)

Force and torque both

Option 2)

      Force but no torque

Option 3)

Torque but no force

Option 4)

No force and no torque
