Answer:
An electric dipole placed with its axis in the direction of a uniform electric field experiences, neither a force nor a torque. ... The forces are equal and opposite and hence the net force is zero. This force causes the charges to move in two directions (horizontal and vertical)
Total force of on diopole = E q+ E (−q) =0
We know,
Torque = P × E
but axis of dipole is in the direction of electric field
∴τ=P.E sin
∴τ=0
∴ No torque, No force is acting on dipole
hope it will help you.....
