A dipole of dipole moment 10^(-7) Cm in ...

A dipole of dipole moment `10^(-7)` Cm in the negative z-direction is placed in an electric field along the positive z-direction. The magnitude of electric field increases uniformly along the positive z-direction, at the rate of `10^(5) NC^(-1)` per meter. The force experienced by the dipole is :

A

`-10^(2)N`

B

`10^(-2)N`

C

`10^(-3)N`
