What is the potential energy of dipole with charge particles system as shown in (Fig. 3.96) ?
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Potential energy of dipole will be zero because electric field due to point charges at dipole will cancel out. Also electric field due to any point charge is perpendicular to the dipole moment.
