Fig. shows an electric dipole. A point charge 4 μC is placed on the axial line of dipole at a large distance from the centre of dipole where electric field strength due to dipole is I 00 N/C. The dipole is also present in the electric field of 4 μC charge. Assuming that the charges that make the dipole are fixed relative to each other, but the dipole, as a whole, is free to move :

a
4 μC charge experiences a force 4 x 10-4 N to the left; the dipole experiences no force but it experiences a torque
b
4 μC charge experiences a force 4 x 10-4 N to the left; the dipole experiences a force 4 x 10-4 N to the right but it experiences no torque
c
4 μC charge experiences a force 4 x 10-4 N to the left; the dipole experiences a force 4 x 10-4 N to the right, it also experiences a torque that will rotate it anticlockwise
d
4 μC charge experiences a force 4 x 10-4 N to the left; the dipole experiences no force and no torque
