A electric dipole has the magnitude of its charge as $q$ and its dipole moment is $p$ . It is placed in a uniform electric field $E$ . If its dipole moment is along the direction of the field, the force on it and it and its potential energy are respectively:NEET 2004

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Force on each charge, of dipole $F =$ $pE$ $∴$ Total force $=$ zero, they are in opposite director $∴ P$ and $E$ are parallel to each other $∴ U = - P \cdot E$ is minimum.
