An electric dipole is placed perpendicular to an infinite line of charge at same distance as shown in figure. Identify the correct statement.

A

the dipole is attracted towards the line charge

B

the dipole is repelled away from the line charge

C

the diple does not experience a force

D

the dipole experienes a force as wel as a torque

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Negative charge of dipole is neasr to positively charge line charge. Hence attraction is more
