An electric dipole is kept a uniform electric field. it experiences​

Answered by admin @



Answer:

When an electric dipole is places in a uniform electric field , it experiences no force as the electric force on both the negative and the positive charge are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction so they cancel out. But , it experiences a torque(couple) and hence it rotates.
