Question 94 of 311
Statement-I : A point charge is brought in an electric field. The value of electric field at a point near to the charge may increase if the charge is positive.
Statement-II : An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field. The net electric force on the dipole will not be zero.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Statement-I is true but statement-II is false.
If a positive point charge is brought in an electric field. The value of electric field at a point near to the charge may increase or decreases. Hence, statement I is true.
An electric dipole experiences zero net force in a uniform electric field. Hence, statement II is false.
An electric dipole experiences zero net force in a uniform electric field. Hence, statement II is false.
