Total: 11
An electric dipole of dipole moment (
) is kept in a uniform electric field
. Show graphically the variation of torque acting on the dipole ( τ ) with its orientation ( θ ) in the field. Find the orientation in which torque is (i) zero and (ii) maximum.
Solution: 👈: Video Solution
Graphical variation of torque ( τ ) with the orientation of electric dipole ( θ ) in the electric field:
(i) Atθ = 0 ° , torque is zero.
(ii) Atθ = 90 ° , torque is maximum.
(i) At
(ii) At
