(D) In a non-uniform electric field,the electric field intensity at the positions of the two charges $+q$ and $-q$ of the dipole is different. Let the electric field at the position of $+q$ be $E_1$ and at the position of $-q$ be $E_2$. The force on the positive charge is $F_1 = qE_1$ and the force on the negative charge is $F_2 = -qE_2$. Since $E_1 
eq E_2$,the magnitudes of the forces are unequal $(|F_1| 
eq |F_2|)$. Because the forces are unequal and act at different points,they do not cancel each other out,resulting in a net translational force. Additionally,since the forces are not collinear,they exert a torque on the dipole. Therefore,the dipole experiences both a torque and a translational force.

An electric dipole is placed at an angle of $30^o$ to a non-uniform electric field. The dipole will experience:
