QAIPMT-2004-Ph-2625: NEET 2004 Physics - Class 12 AIPMT-2004-Ph-2625 Solution: An electric dipole has the magnitude of its charge as q and its …
An electric dipole has the magnitude of its charge as q and its dipole moment is p. It is placed in a uniform electric field E. If its dipole moment is along the direction of the field, the force on it and its potential energy are respectively
Multiple Choice Options
- A 2q.E and minimum
- B q.E and p.E
- C zero and minimum
- D q.E and maximum
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
When the dipole is in the direction of field then net force is qE + (�qE) = 0
and its potential energy is minimum = � P.E. = �qaE
