What happens in a uniform electric field on a dipole?
What happens in a uniform electric field on a dipole?
- The dipole experiences a net force
- The dipole experiences a torque (correct)
- The dipole experiences no force or torque
- The dipole rotates indefinitely
How does the force on each charge in the dipole compare in a uniform electric field?
How does the force on each charge in the dipole compare in a uniform electric field?
- They both move towards the positive plate
- They experience equal and opposite forces (correct)
- They experience unequal forces in the same direction
- They experience no forces at all
What effect does a non-uniform electric field have on a dipole?
What effect does a non-uniform electric field have on a dipole?
- It experiences only force but no torque
- It experiences both force and torque (correct)
- It experiences only torque but no force
- It remains unaffected by the non-uniform field
