An electric dipole placed at an angle theta in a non- uniform electric field experiences :

Prove that the net force acting on an electric dipole, inclined at an angle theta to the uniform electric field vecE is zero. Draw a suitable diagram.

Derive equation of potential energy of an electric dipole in a uniform electric field .

When is the potential energy of an electric dipole maximum, when placed in uniform electric field?

Derive the expression for the potential energy of an electric dipole of dipole moment vec(p) placed in a uniform electric field vec(E ) .

The potential energy of an electric dipole in a uniform electric filed is U .The magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole due to the field is N .Then

An electric dipole is held at an angle theta in a uniform electric field E. Will there be any (i) net translating force (ii) torque acting on in ? Explain.
