Question

How to find the direction of a torque acting on a system of dipole placed in a uniform electric field?

Answer 1

Answer:

the direction of a torque acting on a system of dipole placed in a uniform electric field is given by right hand secrev rule

Answer 2

Answer:

If electric dipole is placed in an uniform electric field at some angle with electric field lines , then dipole will experience forces in opposite direction . So, if dipole is fixed about (let) central point , then net torque will act about that point and consequences of this is that , dipole will starts rotating .
