What happen if an electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field with its axis inclined at an angle to the direction of the field?
An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field in with its axis inclined at a certain angle with the field. Therefore, a torque acts on the dipole but no resultant force acts on it. Because if the dipole is deflected through an angle θ, the torque pEsinθ acting on it brings it back along the field.
When electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field it experiences?
When an electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field, it experiences a torque but no force. An electric dipole placed in a uniform electric field experiences a torque that aligns the dipole parallel to the direction of the electric field with zero net force.
When dipole placed in uniform electric field a dipole experiences a net force a torque both a net force and torque neither a net force and torque?
Now, In a uniform electric field, both the point charges comprising the dipole will experience force, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Though the net force will always be zero, the torque will be in the same direction for both the charges. Hence torque will not be zero.
When a dipole is placed with its?
A dipole is placed in a uniform electric field with its axis parallel to the field.
When an electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field it experiences a force as well as torque B torque but no net force C force but no torque D neither any force nor?
When electric dipole is placed in a?
zero
Even if we change the orientation, the length and the charge of the dipole, the net force on the dipole will be equal to zero. Hence, the electric force on a dipole when it is placed in a uniform electric field is always zero.
What is the orientation of an electric dipole?
The dipole is in stable equilibrium when electric dipole is in the direction of electric field vector and is parallel →P∣∣→E.
Why is the torque of an electric dipole zero in uniform field?
> An electric dipole kept in In a uniform electric field, both the point charges comprising the dipole will experience force, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Though the net force will always be zero, the torque will be in same direction for both the charges. Hence torque will not be zero.
What is the net force on a dipole in an electric field?
The forces on the two charges are equal and opposite, so there is no net force on the dipole. However, there is a torque: A dipole in an external electric field. (a) The net force on the dipole is zero, but the net torque is not.
What is the torque in a uniform electric field?
In a uniform electric field, both the point charges comprising the dipole will experience force, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Though the net force will always be zero, the torque will be in same direction for both the charges.
How is dipole moment induced in neutral atoms?
A dipole is induced in a neutral atom by an external electric field. The induced dipole moment is aligned with the external field. An important fact here is that, just as for a rotated polar molecule, the result is that the dipole moment ends up aligned parallel to the external electric field.
