Question

Torque due to an electric dipole placed in a uniform electric field?

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider a dipole with charges +q and –q forming a dipole

they are a distance d away from each other.

Let it be placed in a uniform electric field of strength E such that the axis of the dipole forms an angle θ with the electric field. F−⊥=−qEsinθ.

Answer 2

Now, In a uniform electric field, both the point charges comprising the dipole will experience force, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Though the net force will always be zero, the torque will be in the same direction for both the charges. Hence torque will not be zero.
