A short dipole of dipole moment P is placed near a point charge Q as shown in figure. Find force on the dipole due to the point charge

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Force on the point charge due to dipole `F=(Q) (E_("dipole"))`

`F=(Q) ((KP)/r^(3)) (darr)`
So force on the dipole due to the point charge will also be `F=((KPQ)/r^(3)) (uarr)` (but in opposite direction) as shown
