As shown in the figure,a charge $+q$ is moved from point $A \,(r, 135^{\circ})$ to point $B \,(r, 45^{\circ})$. If the dipole moment is $p$,what is the work done by an external agent?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{qp}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{\sqrt{2} qp}{r^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{qp}{r}$

An electric dipole is kept on the axis of a uniformly charged ring at a distance of $R/\sqrt{2}$ from the center of the ring. The direction of the dipole moment is along the axis. The dipole moment is $P$,the charge of the ring is $Q$,and the radius of the ring is $R$. The force on the dipole is nearly:
