An electric dipole is held at an angle θ in a uniform electric field E. Will there be any (i) nettranslatory force (ii) torque acting on it? Explain7. |

Answer» 1)the forces experienced by the 2 charges constituting the electric dipole when placed in an uniform external electric field are equal and opposite in nature, the net force on the dipole is zero. 2) angle of rotation = 180thantorque = pE sin180 = 0 No torque act on the dipole when the moment of electric dipoleis parallel to the electric field. |
