Figures shown electric field lines in which as electric dipole `vec(p)` is placed as shown .Which of the following statement is correct?

Options

A. The dipole will not not experience any force
B. The dipole will experience a force towards right.
C. The dipole will experience a force towards left.
D. The dipole will experience a force upwards

Answer

C

Explanation

In Fig, spacing between electric lines of force increases from left to right . Therefore, `E` on left is greater that `E` on right. Force on `+q` charge of dipole is smaller and to the right. Force on `-q` charges of dipole is bigger and to the left. Hence, the dipole wil experience a net force towards the left.
