Question
An electric dipole in a uniform electric field experiences (When it is placed at an angle 
with the field)
- Force and torque both
- Force but no torque
- Torque but no force
- No force and no torque
The correct answer is: Torque but no force
In uniform electric field dipole experience only torque, but no force.
