NEET PhysicsClass 12Dipole in a uniform external fieldMediumAssertion–Reason
An electric dipole sits in a uniform electric field with its moment tilted at an angle to the field. Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) about it and choose the correct option.
- Assertion (A): An electric dipole placed in a uniform electric field, with its moment at an angle to the field, experiences no net force but does experience a torque.
- Reason (R): The forces qE and −qE on the two charges are equal and opposite, but they act at different points, forming a couple.
