An electric dipole placed with its axis in the direction of a uniform electric field experience ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

feels no charge...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess no force and no torque

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya ok siddharth .....agree but can u explain me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no torque and no force because of uniform electric field as i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it working tangentially i guess u read abu that tangential property ??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

When an electric dipole p is place in a uniform E field, it experiences no net force, but it does experience a torque. The torque is given by: = p × E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lols confused

OpenStudy (experimentx):

well, i think that is when it is alined perpendicular to electrid field.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rocky ab aa rha hai kb se msg.kr rhi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no torque and no force .khtm apka question solve huya me jata hu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rock ....smja de plzzz test hai mera coaching me

OpenStudy (experimentx):

If the electric field is constant along x-axis, then there shouldn't be any force. since both negative as well as positive charge will have equal force exerted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the electric field E exerts a force a qE on charge +q and a force -qE on charge -q of the dipole .since these forces are equal and opposite ,they aad upto zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okkk now u can go...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medal please
