Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

Answer:

An electric dipole in an electric field that is external is subjected to a torque written as τ = pE sin θ where symbol θ is the angle which is between p and E. The torque tends to align the moment of the dipole p in the direction of E.
