Electric dipole

Question

If an electric dipole is kept in an uniform electric field then

Easy

A

linear acceleration of its centre of mass is zero
B

angular acceleration about its centre of mass is zero
C

both linear and angular accelerations are zero
D

none of these

Solution

Only the net force acting on the dipole is zero not the net torque. Hence only linear acceleration is zero.
