A dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move?

Question diagram
  1. A
    towards the right as its potential energy will decrease.
  2. B
    towards the left as its potential energy will decrease.
  3. C
    towards the right as its potential energy will increase.
  4. D
    towards the left as its potential energy will increase.
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option B

towards the left as its potential energy will decrease.

Explanation

In a non-uniform electric field, a dipole experiences a net force towards the region of stronger electric field (where potential energy decreases). Since the electric field is stronger on the left (closer lines), it moves to the left.
