Show that net force acting on an electric dipole held in a uniform electric field is zero. |
|
Answer» Solution :Consider an electric dipole AB held in a uniform electric field held at an ANGLE ` theta` with the direction of electric field ` oversetto E . ` Now force acting on +q charge `F_1 =qE ` along direction of ` OVERSET to E ` and force acting on -q charge `F_2=qE ` in a direction opposite to that of ` oversetto E` Since `F_1 and F_2 ` are equal but in mutually opposite direction, HENCE the net translational force acting on the electric dipole will be zero. ` (##U_LIK_SP_PHY_XII_C01_E09_028_S01.png" width="80%"> |
