Question

does an electric dipole always experience a torque when placed in a uniform electric field explain
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

When a dipole is placed in a uniform electric field and dipole vector direction is not parallel to field direction, each chargs of dipole experiences a force. Magnitude of the two forces are equal but in opposite direction. ... Hence in uniform field, dipole experiences only torque.

Answer 2

Answer: If the dipole moment vector is not parallel to the direction of electric field then both the charges comprising the dipole experience a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. Thus it experiences only torque.

If the dipole vector direction is parallel to the electric field it doesnot experience a torque.
