1.	Figure 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 forceB. The dipole will experience a force towards rightC. The dipole will experience a force towards leftD. The dipole will experience a force upwards.
Answer» Correct Answer - C The space between the electric field lines is increasing, here from left to right and its characteristics states that, strength of electric field decreases with the increases in the space between electric field lines. As a result force on charges also decreaseas from left to right. ltBrgt Thus, the force on charge -q is greater than force on charge +q in turn dipole will experience a force towards left.
