Solution


Q.

A dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move        [2021]
1 towards the right as its potential energy will increase.  
2 towards the left as its potential energy will increase.  
3 towards the right as its potential energy will decrease.  
4 towards the left as its potential energy will decrease.  

Ans.

(3)

Electric field is always direct from high potential to low potential. For the given situation the electric potential is decreasing from left to right therefore, potential energy of the dipole will also decrease. Thus dipole will move from towards the right.
