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

An electric dipole is formed by two equal and opposite charges \(q\) with separation \(d\). The charges the same mass \(m\). It is kept in a uniform electric field \(E\). If it slightly rotated from its equilibrium orientation, then its angular frequency \(\omega \) is

  1. A \(\sqrt {\frac{{qE}}{{2md}}} \)
  2. B \(\sqrt {\frac{{2qE}}{{md}}} \)
  3. C \(\sqrt {\frac{{qE}}{{md}}} \)
  4. D \(2\sqrt {\frac{{qE}}{{md}}} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt {\frac{{2qE}}{{md}}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moment of inertia \((I)=m\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^{2} \times 2=\frac{m d^{2}}{2}\) Now by \(\tau=I \alpha\) \((q E)(d \sin \theta)=\frac{m d^{2}}{2} \cdot \alpha\) \(\alpha=\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{qE}}{\mathrm{md}}\right) \sin \theta\) for small \(\theta\)…
