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

Define electric dipole moment. Find the torque actging on a dipole when it is placed in a uniform electric field vecE .

An electric dipole has a fixed dipole moment vecp , which makes angle theta with respect to x-aixs. When subjected to an electric field vec(E)_(1)=Ehati , it experiences a torque vec(T)_(1)=tauhatk . When subjected to another electric field vec(E)_(2)=sqrt3Ehatj it experiences a torque vec(T)_(2)=-vec(T)_(1) . The angle theta is

The electric field due to a small dipole of length 2l at distance r ( rgtgtl) from the centre of the dipole on the axial line is E. What is the distance of the point on the perpendicular bisector of the dipole from its centre in which the electric field intensity is E ?

Derive an expression for the electric field E due to a dipole of length 2a at a point at a distance r from the centre of the dipole on the axial line.

An electric dipole had been formed by placing two particles each of mass m at the two ends of a light rod of length l. The charges of the two particles are +q and -q . This dipole is placed in a uniform electric field E in such a way that its axis is parallel to the direction of the field. The dipole is now deflected through a small angle. Show that for small angular displacement, the dipole will execute angular simple harmonic motion. Calculate the time period of the simple harmonic motion.
