Question

What is Electric Dipole in Non-uniform Electric Field?

Answer

Electric Dipole in Non-uniform Electric Field - When an electric dipole is placed in a non-uniform electric field, then the two charges of dipole experiences unequal forces. The magnitude of the forces are given in the diagram. In a non-uniform electric field : (i) Both force and torque are non-zero (ii) Motion of the dipole is translatory and rotatory.
