NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields
A dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move ?
- A towards the left as its potential energy will increase.
- B towards the right as its potential energy will decrease.
- C towards the left as its potential energy will decrease.
- D towards the right as its potential energy will increase.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) towards the right as its potential energy will decrease.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\left|\vec{E}_{1}\right|>\left|\vec{E}_{2}\right|\) As field lines are closer at charge \(+q\).
