- A force experienced is zero while torque is not zero
- B force experienced is zero and torque is also zero
- C both force and torque are not zero
- D force experienced is not zero, while torque may be zero depending on its orientation
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) force experienced is not zero, while torque may be zero depending on its orientation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When an electric dipole is placed in a non-uniform electric field, the net force on the dipole due to the electric field will be non-zero, while the torque it experiences in the field may be zero depending on its orientation.
