Question
An electric dipole is placed in an electric field generated by a point charge.
✓
Answer
- The torque on the dipole due to the field may be zero.
In the uniform Electric field the net electric force on the dipole is alwas zero.
In uniform Electric field the torque on the dipole due to field may be zero.
T = 0
Here t Þ Torque
$\text{T}=2\text{qEl}\sin\text{q }\otimes\neq0$
