Q100 / 150 · JEE Main 2006 · Physics

A electric dipole is placed at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to a non-uniform electric field. The dipole will experience

A
a torque only
B
a translational force only in the direction of the field
C
a translational force only in a direction normal to the direction of the field
Correct answer
D
a torque as well as a translational force

Solution

A torque as well as a translational force

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
