A dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move?



Two ideal electric dipoles and , having their dipole moment and respectively are placed on a plane with their centres at as shown in the figure. At point on the axis of dipole , the resultant electric field is making an angle of with the axis. The ratio of the dipole moment of and is take



In the figure the net torque acting on the dipole is


An electric dipole having point charges and , separated by a fixed distance is kept under the influence of a uniform electric field , such that the axis of the dipole is making an angle with the direction of , as shown in the figure. If the electric dipole is allowed to rotate in the -plane with its center being stationary, what is the magnitude of the net torque acting on the electric dipole?
