An electric dipole is at 30° with uniform electric field of 2 xx 10^(5) N/C. The torque acting on it is 4 Nm. If length of dipole is 2 cm, then what will be the charge at one end of dipole ?

Answer»

5 MC
`7muC`
8mC
2mC

Solution :`tau =pEsintheta`
`tau=q(2a)Esintheta`
`THEREFORE q=tau/(2a xx Esintheta)`
`=4/(2 xx 10^(-2) xx 2 xx 10^(5) xx sin 30^(@))`
`=1/(10^(3) xx 1/2)`
`=1/500 = 0.002 C = 2 xx 10^(-3) C = 2mC`
