NEET 2021 Physics, question 31
Question 31 of the NEET 2021 paper (code O1) is a Physics question from Electric Charges and Fields. Its idea, Force Between Dipole and Point Charge, was asked only this once in NEET 2017–2026. The NTA final answer key gives option 4.

Q31 · Physics
A dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move ?
The figure, described in words
Non-uniform field: dashed field lines diverging to the right from a point on the left (field weakening rightwards); dipole along the axis with +q on the left and −q on the right.
- 1towards the left as its potential energy will decrease.
- 2towards the right as its potential energy will increase.
- 3towards the left as its potential energy will increase.
- 4towards the right as its potential energy will decrease.Official answer
