MCQ
An electric dipole is kept in non-uniform electric field. It experiences
- ✓A force and a torque
- BA force but not a torque
- CA torque but not a force
- DNeither a force nor a torque
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
A force and a torque
a
(a) As the dipole will feel two forces which are although opposite but not equal.
A net force will be there and as these forces act at different points of a body. A torque is also there.
