Question

A dipole is kept in a non-uniform electric field it will experience

Answer 1

Answer:

FIRST READ HERE: It may experience both torque as well as force due to non uniform electric field. Please note the fact that I have used the word "may".

REFER TO THE DIAGRAM TO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION WHERE IT WILL NOT EXPERIENCE TORQUE OR FORCE.

Answer 2

AnSwEr:-

$\longrightarrow$Given an electric dipole placed in a non-uniform electric field. An electric dipole always experiences a torque when placed in uniform as well as non-uniform electric field.

$\longrightarrow$ But in non-uniform electric field, dipole will also experience net force of attraction. So the electric dipole in non-uniform electric field experiences both torque and force.
