At what angle between dipole moment and electric field, electric dipole remains in stable equilibrium in uniform electric field ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the angle at which an electric dipole remains in stable equilibrium in a uniform electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Dipole and Electric Field**: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance. The dipole moment \( \vec{P} \) is a vector quantity pointing from the negative charge to the positive charge. The electric field \( \vec{E} \) is a vector that influences the dipole. 2. **Torque on the Dipole**: ...
