Choose the correct statements:
A. In uniform electric field E, the net force on electric dipole is zero.
B. The torque on dipole in electric field is \( \tau = PE \cos \theta \), where \( \theta \) is angle between \( \vec{P} \) and \( \vec{E} \).
C. In non uniform Electric field, when dipole moment P is parallel to E, the dipole has a net force in the direction of decreasing field.,
D. The direction of torque is perpendicular to both \( \vec{P} \) and \( \vec{E} \).
E. The net torque is zero if E is not uniform.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A A and D only
  2. B C, D and E only
  3. C D and E only
  4. D A, D and E only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) A and D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A. Correct. (Net force \( \vec{F}_{net} = q\vec{E} - q\vec{E} = \vec{0} \)) B. Incorrect. (\( \tau = PE \sin \theta \)) C. Incorrect. (\( \vec{F} = P \nabla E \), force is in direction of increasing field) D. Correct. (\( \vec{\tau} = \vec{P} \times \vec{E} \), direction…
