Question:

Figure shows electric field lines in which an electric dipole \(\vec{p}\) is placed as shown. Which of the following statements is correct ?

Options:

The dipole will not experience any force

The dipole will experience a force in the direction of \(\vec{p}\)

The dipole will experience a force opoosite to \(\vec{p}\)

The dipole will experience a force perpendicular to \(\vec{p}\)

Correct Answer:

The dipole will experience a force opoosite to \(\vec{p}\)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → The dipole will experience a force opoosite to \(\vec{p}\)

As field at –q is stronger than at +q.

 force will be more on –q (towards left)
