  • A
    $1:1$
  • B
    $1:\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $1:2$

What is a point dipole?

An electric dipole of length $4 \ cm$ is placed with its axis making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with a uniform electric field. It experiences a torque of $4 \sqrt{3} \ Nm$. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field. (The dipole has charges $\pm 8 \ nC$)

The electric field $\vec{E}$ at a point at a distance $r$ from the axis of a dipole is given by:

Three identical small electric dipoles are arranged parallel to each other at equal separation $a$ as shown in the figure. Their total interaction energy is $U$. Now,one of the end dipoles is gradually reversed. How much work is done by the electric forces?
