* Given Section consists of questions of 4 marks each.
1. When electric dipole is placed in uniform electric field, its two charges
experience equal and opposite forces, which cancel each other and hence net
force on electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero. However, these forces
are not collinear, so they give rise to some torque on the dipole. Since net force
on electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero, so no work is done in moving
the electric dipole in uniform electric field. However, some work is done in
rotating the dipole against the torque acting on it.

P. Then

1.0μC separated by a distance of 2.0cm. The dipole is placed in an
external field of 105N C-1. The maximum torque on the dipole is:
a. 0.2 × 10-3Nm
b. 1 × 10-3Nm
c. 2 × 10-3Nm
d. 4 × 10-3Nm
