  • A
    $5 \sqrt{3} q$
  • B
    $5 q$
  • C
    $10 q$

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

An electric dipole has a charge of magnitude $q$ and a dipole moment $p$. It is placed in a uniform electric field $E$. If its dipole moment is aligned with the direction of the electric field, the force acting on it and its potential energy will be, respectively:

Two electric dipoles of moment $P$ and $8P$ are placed in opposite directions on a line at a distance of $24 \text{ cm}$. The electric field will be zero at a point between the dipoles whose distance from the dipole of moment $P$ is $x_1$. When $8P$ is replaced by $27P$ keeping all other quantities the same, the distance $x_1$ becomes $x_2$. The difference $|x_2 - x_1|$ is (All distances are measured from the centers of the dipoles.) (in $\text{ cm}$)
