Question

Behavior of a dipole in uniform electric field :

Conditions -

(a) Two parallel dipoles are placed in uniform electric field​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A force may cause an object to turn about a pivot. The turning effect of a force is called the moment of the force. Moments act about a pivot in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. The anticlockwise moment acts downward on the left, and the clockwise moment acts downwards on the right.

Answer 2

Explanation:

An electric dipole placed in uniform electric field experiences a torque which align the dipole parallel to the direction of the electric field with zero net force.
