Question

write the value of torque and force on electric dipole in the conditions of stable and unstable equilibrium when placed in uniform electric field.​

Answer 1

Question:-

write the value of torque and force on electric dipole in the conditions of stable and unstable equilibrium when placed in uniform electric field.

Answer:

Net force and torque on the system should be zero in equilibrium. Therefore, if Potential Energy is high, the equilibrium will be unstable, and equilibrium will be stable for minimum Potential Energy. (1) Torque can be zero only if θ is 00 or π0. (2) Dipole moment is always zero.
