3.An electric dipole when held at 30° with respect to a uniform electric field of 10^(4)N/C experience a torque of 9x10^(-26)NM calculate dipole moment of the dipole
Answers
Answer:
hello the answer is-
Electric dipole moment, p = 4 × 10−9 C m (Given)
Angle made by p with a uniform electric field, θ = 30° (Given)
Electric field, E = 5 × 104 N C−1 (Given)
Torque acting on the dipole is given by the relation,
τ = pE sinθ
= 4 × 10-9 × 5 × 104 × sin 30
= 20 × 10-5 × 1 half
Answer:
Explanation:
- Electric field (E) = 10⁴ N/C
- Torque (τ) = 9 × 10⁻²⁶ N m
- Angle (θ) = 30°
- To find dipole moment (p)
→ We need to find the dipole moment of the dipole
→ We know that torque acting ona body is given by the equation,
τ = p E sinθ
→ Substituting the given datas we get the value of p
9 × 10⁻²⁶ = p × 10⁴ × sin 30
9 × 10⁻²⁶ = p × 10⁴ × 1/2
p/2 = 9 × 10⁻²⁶/10⁴
p/2 = 9 × 10⁻³⁰
p = 4.5 × 10⁻³⁰ C m
→ Hence dipole moment is 4.5 × 10⁻³⁰ C m
→ An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite charges separated by some distance.
p = 2 × a × q
where q is the charge of a dipole and 2a is the distance between them.
