Electrostatics question

2021 · Q146

NEETPhysicsElectrostaticsMCQ+4 / −1
A dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move?

NEET 2021 Physics - Electrostatics Question 17 English
  1. A
    towards the right as its potential energy will increase.
  2. B
    towards the left as its potential energy will increase.
  3. C
    towards the right as its potential energy will decrease.
  4. D
    towards the left as its potential energy will decrease.

Correct answer: C

∣E→1∣>∣E→2∣\left| {{{\overrightarrow E }_1}} \right| \gt \left| {{{\overrightarrow E }_2}} \right|​E1​​>​E2​​

As field lines are closed at charge +q.

So, net force on the dipole acts towards right side. A system always moves to decrease it's potential energy.
