CUET and UG exam NEET UG 2025 Mock Test Physics Electric Fields and Gauss' Law The Electric Field Due to an Electric Dipole
An electric dipole of moment 'p' is placed in an electric field of intensity 'E'. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle θ with the direction of the field. Assuming that the potential energy of the dipole to be zero when θ = 90°, the torque and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be
1
pE cos θ, -pE sin θ
2
pE sin θ, -pE cos θ
3
pE sin θ, -2pE cos θ
4
pE sin θ, 2pE cos θ
