Question

What will be the value of electric field at the centre of the electric dipole : - (a) Zero (b) Equal to the electric field due to one charge at centre (c) Twice the electric field due to one charge at centre (d) half the value of electric field due to one charge at centre

Answer 1

Answer:

If an electric dipole is placed in a nonuniform electric field, then the positive and the negative charges of the dipole will experience a net force. And as one end of the dipole is experiencing a force in one direction and the other end in the opposite direction, so the dipole will have a net torque also.
