An electric dipole of mass m, charge q, and length (l ) is placed in a uniform electric field ( E = E ₀ i ). When the dipole is rotated slightly from its equilibrium position and released, the time period of its oscillations will be:
Options
- A( 1 2 m l 2 q E₀ )
- B(2 ~m l qE ₀ )
- C( 1 2 2 ~m l qE ₀ )
- D(2 ~m l 2 qE ₀ )
Correct answer
D. (2 ~m l 2 qE ₀ )
Step-by-step solution
=P E₀ If is small aligned & =- (P E₀ ) I & =m ( l 2 )^2 2= m l^2 2 T & =2 m l^2 2 P E₀ =2 m l^2 2 q / E₀ T & =2 m l 2 q E₀ aligned
