An electric dipole is kept in a non-uniform electric field. It generally experiences:

  • A
    a torque but not a force
  • B
    a force and a torque
  • C
    neither a force nor a torque
  • D
    a force but not a torque

Write the formulas for the electric field due to an electric dipole and the magnetic field due to a current-carrying loop at a point on their respective equatorial (bisector) lines at a distance $x$.

Two identical electric point dipoles have dipole moments $\overrightarrow{p}_{1} = p\hat{i}$ and $\overrightarrow{p}_{2} = -p\hat{i}$ and are held on the $x$-axis at a distance $'a'$ from each other. When released,they move along the $x$-axis with the direction of their dipole moments remaining unchanged. If the mass of each dipole is $'m'$,their speed when they are infinitely far apart is

If the electric field at a distance $x$ on the axis of an electric dipole is equal to the electric field at a distance $y$ on its equatorial line,what is the ratio $x : y$?
