Electrostatics Question 318

Question: Two charges +3.2×1019C and 3.2×109C kept 2.4 Å apart forms a dipole. If it is kept in uniform electric field of intensity 4×105volt/m then what will be its electrical energy in equilibrium [MP PMT 2003]

Options:

A) +3×1023J

B) 3×1023J

C) 6×1023J

D) 2×1023J

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Potential energy of electric dipole U=pEcosθ

=(q×2l)Ecosθ

U=(3.2×1019×2.4×1010)4×105cosθ

U=3×1023 (approx.)
