  • A
    ${E_e} = 2{E_a}$
  • B
    ${E_a} = 2{E_e}$

What does an electric dipole experience when placed in a uniform electric field?

An electric dipole is placed at the origin in the direction of the $x$-axis. $A$ point $P$ is at a distance of $20 \, cm$ from the origin $O$ such that $OP$ makes an angle of $\pi/3$ with the $x$-axis. If the electric field at point $P$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,then the value of $\theta$ is:

An electric dipole with dipole moment $5 \times 10^{-6} \ Cm$ is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $4 \times 10^5 \ N/C$. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is (in $J$)
