Question:
An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field. What is the net electric force on the dipole?
Options:
zero
depends on the dipole moment
depends on the magnitude of charges
not equal to zero
Correct Answer:
zero
Explanation:
Force on +q is qE and force on charge −q is −qE. So, the total force will be sum of these two forces, and it will result in zero.
