An electric dipole consisting of two opposite charges of $2 \times 10^{-6} \, C$ each,separated by a distance of $3 \, cm$,is placed in an electric field of $2 \times 10^5 \, N/C$. The maximum torque on the dipole will be:

  • A
    $12 \times 10^{-1} \, N \cdot m$
  • B
    $12 \times 10^{-3} \, N \cdot m$
  • C
    $24 \times 10^{-1} \, N \cdot m$
  • D
    $24 \times 10^{-3} \, N \cdot m$

An electric dipole is placed in a non-uniform electric field such that the angle between $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{E}$ is not $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$. It experiences . . . . . . .

$A$ rigid dipole undergoes a simple harmonic motion about its centre in the presence of an electric field $\vec{E}_1 = E_0\hat{i}$. If another electric field $\vec{E}_2 = 2E_0(\hat{j} + \hat{k})$ is introduced to the system, what will be the percentage change in the frequency of the oscillation (approximate) (in $\%$)?

The electric dipole is situated in an electric field as shown in figure $(i)$. The dipole and electric field are both in the plane of the paper. The dipole is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the paper at point $A$ in an anticlockwise direction. If the angle of rotation is measured with respect to the direction of the electric field,then the torque for different values of the angle of rotation $\theta$ will be as represented in Fig. $(ii)$.
