A dipole is placed in a uniform electric field, its potential energy will be minimum when the angle between its axis and field is
Options
- Azero
- B2
- C2
Correct answer
A. zero
Step-by-step solution
Potential energy of a electric dipole in electric field is given as U=-p B For minimum value U, should be maximum as 1 . i.e., =1= ^ =0^
