JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

A rigid dipole undergoes a simple harmonic motion about its centre in the presence of an electric field \(\vec{E}_1=E_0\hat{x}\). If another electric field \(\vec{E}_2=2E_0(\hat{y}+\hat{z})\) is introduced to the system, what will be the percentage change in the frequency of the oscillation (approximate)?

  1. A \(73\%\)
  2. B \(63\%\)
  3. C \(83\%\)
  4. D \(53\%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(73\%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The frequency of oscillation of a rigid dipole in an electric field is given by \(f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\dfrac{pE}{I}}\), where \(p\) is the dipole moment, \(E\) is the magnitude of the electric field, and \(I\) is the moment of inertia. This implies \(f \propto \sqrt{E}\).…
