Question
An electric dipole is placed (not at infinity) in an electric field generated by a point charge.
Options
A.An electric dipole is placed (not at infinity) in an electric field generated by a point charge.
B.The net electric force on the dipole will not be zero
C.The torque on the dipole due to the field may be zero
D.The torque on the dipole due to the field must be zero
Solution
The electric force on dipole can never be zero in the given electric field. But torque may be zero in electric field when placed in shown orientation.
