Question

a sample of hcl gas is placed in a uniform electric field of magnitude 5×10 power of 5Nc - 1. the dipole moment of each hcl molecule is1. 3 nc. calculate the maximum torque experienced by each hcl molecule​

Answer 1

Explanation:

E=2.5×10

NC

−1

,p=3.4×10

−30

Cm.

Solution:

Torque acting on the molecule.

τ=pEsinθ for maximum torque, θ=90

o

=3.4×10

Maximum Torque acting on the molecules is =8.5×10

−26

Nm.
