Question

An electric dipole is placed in a non uniform electric field what is the net force acting on it

Answer 1

Hey dearie!!!

when electric feild is not uniform,the net force will be non zero,there will also be torque on the system when dipole p is parallel or antiparrallel to E ,the net torque is zero ,but the force on the dipole E which is not uniform.it is seen that when p is parallel to E,dipole has a net force in the direction of increasing feild and p is antiparrallelto E , the net force on dipole is inthe direction of decreased feild .so the force depends on the orientation of dipole moment with respect to the external feild

Hope itz helps uh

Answer 2

Answer:

If an electric dipole is placed in a nonuniform electric field, then the positive and the negative charges of the dipole will experience a net force. And as one end of the dipole is experiencing a force in one direction and the other end in the opposite direction, so the dipole will have a net torque also.
