Reason(R): In a nonuniform electric field, a dipole experiences a force as well as torque

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) given in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that in a non-uniform electric field, a dipole will have translatory as well as rotatory motion. - A dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. When placed in an electric field, it experiences forces due to these charges. ...
