Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
(a) What is the magnitude of the dipole moment? (b) What is the magnitude of the torque from the electric field?
a dipole having a dipole moment of p = Qa coul/m makes an angle 60° with the direction of a uniform electric field E,(a) calculate the torque on the dipole
An electric dipole consists of charges +2e and -2e separated by 0.85 nm. It is in an electric field of strength 3.8 × 106 N/C. Calculate the magnitude of the torque on the dipole when the dipole moment is (a) parallel to, (b) perpendicular to, and (c) antiparallel to the electric field.
