Question

An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field. Which options below are true? [Enter your answer as a string of the letter options you believe are correct. For instance, if you think options A, D, and E are correct, then enter "ADE"] A) The dipole is never in equilibrium since it will always twist around. B) A dipole whose moment vector is not aligned with a uniform electric field will twist around toward being aligned. C) No net force acts on the electric dipole. D) There are no electric forces exerted on each pole of the dipole. E) None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

C and D are correct

Explanation:

An electric dipole moment for pair of equal and opposite charges is defines the magnitude of charge times the distance between them and the direction is always towards the positive charge.  According to the definition only points C and D are correct.

C) No net force acts on the electric dipole.

D) There are no electric forces exerted on each pole of the dipole.
