An electric dipole of moment p ′ is placed in an electric field of intensity ’ E ’. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle θ with the direction of the field. Assuming that the potential energy of the dipole to be zero when = 90◦ , the torque and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be: ?
If a dipole of dipole moment p is placed in a uniform electric field E, then torque acting on it is given by ?
If a dipole of dipole moment \( \vec{p} \) is placed in a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \), then the torque acting on it is given by ?
<p>(a) \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{p} \cdot \vec{E} \)</p>
<p>(b) \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{p} \times \vec{E} \)</p>
<p>(c) \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{p} + \vec{E} \)</p>
<p>(d) \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{p} - \vec{E} \)</p>
Answer : <p>(b) \(
\vec{\tau} = \vec{p} \times \vec{E} \)</p>
Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is - e, the other is (e + ∆e). If the net of electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance d (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then ∆e is of the order of [Given mass of hydrogen mh = 1.67 × 10−27 kg ] ?
