An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 279 People


36.An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges of magnitude 1micro coloumb separated by a distance of 2cm.The dipole is placed in an electric field 10power-5v/m.The maximum torque does the field exert on the dipole is

Answered by admin @



Hi friend,

The formula is

Torque (tau)= pE sinϴ

Here E =10^-5
ϴ=90°

P=q×2d
=10^-6 ×2×10^-2

P=2×10^-8
Sub all the known values...

τ =2×10^-8 ×10^-5 ×1 [sin 90°=1]

τ = 2×10^-13 C m.

Hope I helped you a little!!!
