  • A
    $\frac{E}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{E}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{E}{4}$

When does the torque acting on an electric dipole in a uniform electric field become maximum?

An electrical dipole coincides on the $z$-axis and its midpoint is at the origin of the coordinate system. The electric field at an axial point at a distance $z$ from the origin is $\vec{E}(z)$ and the electric field at an equatorial point at a distance $y$ from the origin is $\vec{E}(y)$. Here $z = y \gg a$,so $\left| \frac{\vec{E}(z)}{\vec{E}(y)} \right| = . . . . . . . .$.

What is the force acting on an electric dipole in a uniform electric field?

$A$ dipole having a dipole moment $p = 4 \, C-m$ is placed at the origin along the $x$-axis. $A$ point charge $q = 8 \, \mu C$ is fixed at $(4, 0, 0)$. Now,the dipole is rotated by an angle of $\frac{\pi}{2}$. Find the work done (in $mJ$) in rotating the dipole.

$A$ dipole with an electric moment $\vec{p}$ is located at a distance $r$ from a long thread charged uniformly with a linear charge density $\lambda$. Find the force $F$ acting on the dipole if the vector $\vec{p}$ is oriented along the thread.
