An electric dipole is kept in an electric field which is increasing in +x direction. The dipole moment of the dipole is also along the +x direction. Which of the following options is correct for the electric dipole. |
Electric dipole will not experience any force in the presence of the electric field ($\vec E$). Electric dipole will experience force and try to align perpendicular to the direction of electric field ($\vec E$). Electric dipole will experience a net force in +x direction. Electric dipole will experience a net force in -x direction. |
Electric dipole will experience a net force in +x direction. |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Electric dipole will experience a net force in +x direction. |
