NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Consider the following statements about electric dipoles and their behavior in an electric field: 1. The unit vector along the dipole axis is directed from the negative charge to the positive charge. 2. The force experienced by a dipole in a uniform electric field depends on the distance between the charges. 3. The electric field produced by a dipole decreases with increasing distance from the dipole. 4. Electric dipoles experience a torque when placed in a uniform electric field.
Statements 1 and 4 are correct.
Statements 2 and 3 are correct.
Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
Statements 2 and 4 are correct.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement 1 is correct as the unit vector along the dipole axis is defined from -q to q. Statement 4 is also correct since electric dipoles do experience torque in an electric field. Statements 2 and 3 are not accurate based on the defined properties of dipoles and electric fields.
