9. The dipole is free to move. What is the action on it, when it is placed in i) a uniform
electric field
ii) non-uniform electric field.
10. Write the expression for the torque acting on an electric field kept in uniform electric
field. Also mention two pairs of perpendicular vectors in the expression.

Numerical:
TORQUE:

1. An electric dipole with dipole moment 4x10-9 Cm is aligned at 300 with the direction
of a uniform electric field of magnitude 5x104 N/C. Calculate the magnitude of the
torque acting on the dipole.
2. An electric dipole of length 2cm placed with its axis making an angle of 600 to a
uniform electric field of 105 N/C. If it experiences a torque of 8√3 Nm. Calculate the
magnitude of the charge on the dipole and potential energy of the dipole.
3. An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges of magnitude 1/3 x 10-7 C,
separated by 2 cm. The dipole is placed in an external field of 3x107 N/C. What
maximum torque does the electric field exert on the dipole?
ELECTRIC FIELD:
4. Two- point charges of +16 µC and -9µCare placed 8 cm apart in air. Determine the
position of the point at which the resultant field is zero.
5. Two point charges +0.3 C and +0.6 C are placed 0.5 m apart. Calculate the electric
field at i) The midpoint between the charges ii) A point on the line joining the two
charges such that it is 0.05m away from q2 and 0.15 m away from q1.
6. Two- point charges +q and -2q are placed at the vertices B and C of an equilateral
triangle ABC of side ‘a’ as shown in figure. Obtain the expression for i) the magnitude
and the direction of the resultant electric field at the vertex ‘A’ due to these two
charges.

7. Two charges ± 20 µC are placed 10 mm apart. Determine the electric field at a) a pint

charge, b) a point Q, 30 cm away from O on a line passing through O and normal to
the axis of the dipole.

square, be the same or different in the
configurations and why?
