In a certain region of space,the electric field is along the $z$-direction throughout. The magnitude of the electric field is,however,not constant but increases uniformly along the positive $z$-direction at the rate of $10^{5} \; N \, C^{-1}$ per meter. What are the force and torque experienced by a system having a total dipole moment equal to $10^{-7} \; C \, m$ in the negative $z$-direction?

  • A
    $F = -10^{-2} \; N, \tau = 0$
  • B
    $F = 10^{-2} \; N, \tau = 0$
  • C
    $F = 0, \tau = 10^{-2} \; N \, m$
  • D
    $F = -10^{-2} \; N, \tau = 10^{-2} \; N \, m$
