Question:

Two point dipoles of dipole moment $\overrightarrow{p_{1}}$ and $\overrightarrow{p_{2}}$ are at a distance $x$ from each other and $\overrightarrow{p_{1}} \left|\right| \overrightarrow{p_{2}}.$ The force between the dipoles is :

Updated On: Aug 14, 2024
  • $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{4p_{1}p_{2}}{x^{4}}$
  • $\frac{1}{3\pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{8p_{1}p_{2}}{x^{3}}$
  • $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{6p_{1}p_{2}}{x^{4}}$
  • $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{8p_{1}p_{2}}{x^{4}}$

Electric Dipole

An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite point charges -q and q, separated by a distance of 2a. The direction from q to -q is said to be the direction in space.

p=q×2a

where,

p denotes the electric dipole moment, pointing from the negative charge to the positive charge.
