MCQ
An electric dipole placed in a non-uniform electric field can experience:
  • A
    A force but not a torque.
  • B
    A torque but not a force.
  • C
    Always a force and a torque.
  • D
    Neither a force nor a torque.

Answer

  1. Always a force and a torque.

Explanation:

Electric dipole,

Two equal and opposite charges seperated by small distance.

Wherein,

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.
