$A$ given charge is situated at a certain distance from an electric dipole in the end-on position experiences a force $F$. If the distance of the charge is doubled,the force acting on the charge will be:

  • A
    $2 F$
  • B
    $F / 2$
  • C
    $F / 4$
  • D
    $F / 8$

The electric field due to a short electric dipole at a large distance $(r)$ from the center of the dipole on the equatorial plane varies with distance as:

An electric dipole of moment $\vec{p}$ is kept in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$. The angle between $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{E}$ is $30^\circ$. Calculate the work done by the field when the angle is increased to $60^\circ$.

$A$ point $Q$ lies on the perpendicular bisector of an electric dipole with dipole moment $p$. If the distance of $Q$ from the dipole is $r$ (where $r$ is much larger than the size of the dipole),then the electric field at $Q$ is proportional to:

An electric dipole of length $3 \text{ cm}$ is placed with its axis making an angle of $60^\circ$ with a uniform electric field of $5 \times 10^4 \text{ N/C}$. It experiences a torque of $9\sqrt{3} \text{ Nm}$. The magnitude of charge on the dipole is $(\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$
