An electric dipole is placed in an electric field generated by a point charge
The net electric force on the dipole must be zero
The net electric force on the dipole may be zero
The torque on the dipole due to the field must be zero
The torque on the dipole due to the field may be zero
As we have learned
Electric dipole -
Two equal and opposite charges seperated by small distance.
- wherein
Point charge produces non-uniform electric field
Option 1)
The net electric force on the dipole must be zero
Option 2)
The net electric force on the dipole may be zero
Option 3)
The torque on the dipole due to the field must be zero
Option 4)
The torque on the dipole due to the field may be zero
