Two point dipoles of dipole moments $\vec{p}_1$ and $\vec{p}_2$ are at a distance $x$ from each other,and $\vec{p}_1 \parallel \vec{p}_2$. The force between the dipoles is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{4p_1p_2}{x^4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{3p_1p_2}{x^3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{6p_1p_2}{x^4}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{8p_1p_2}{x^4}$

Six charges are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon as shown in the figure. The electric field on the line passing through point $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the figure at a distance of $x (>> a)$ from $O$ is

As shown in the figure,a particle $A$ of mass $2m$ and carrying charge $q$ is connected by a light rigid rod of length $L$ to another particle $B$ of mass $m$ and carrying charge $-q$. The system is placed in an electric field $\vec E$. The electric force on a charge $q$ in an electric field $\vec E$ is $\vec F = q \vec E$. After the system settles into equilibrium,one particle is given a small push in the transverse direction so that the rod makes a small angle $\theta_0$ with the electric field. Find the maximum tension in the rod.
