An electric dipole is kept on the axis of a uniformly charged ring at distanceR2from the centre of the ring. The direction of the dipole moment is along the axis. The dipole moment isP, the charge of the ring isQand the radius of the ring isR. The force on the dipole is nearly

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

At x= R 2 , the electric field due to the ring is maximum.

The force on a dipole in a non-uniform field is

F=pdEdx

But at the point of maxima, dEdx=0

This means F=0
