Figure 1.5 shows electric field lines in which an electric dipole p is placed as shown. Which of the following statements is correct ?
A. The dipole will not experience any force.
B.The dipole will experience a force towards right.
C.The dipole will experience a force towards left.
D.The dipole will experience a force upwards.
The answer is the option (c)
Explanation: Here, the electric field lines are non-uniform, and their strength decreases from left to right. Therefore, the force on -q is more than +q. So, the dipole will experience a force towards the left.
