हिन्दीA dipole is placed in an electric field as shown. In which direction will it move?
Correct answer · Option 2
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.
