A dipole of dipole moment p is placed in uniform electric field E then torque acting on it is given by
- = p E
- = p E
- = p + E
- = p - E
Answer
(2) = p E
Solution
As per NCERT, a dipole in a uniform electric field experiences no net force but a torque of magnitude = pE , directed so as to align p with E.
= p E
Answer: (2)
