JEE Advanced 2026 Physics question
Consider an electric dipole comprising two charges and each with mass , separated by a fixed distance and initially at rest with its dipole moment pointing along . A uniform electric field is turned on at time and it is turned off at , when the dipole moment makes an angle with . Neglecting any sources of energy loss, correct option(s) is/are:
Answer: (B),(D)
Solution
**(A)** In a *uniform* field the net force on the dipole is . The centre of mass therefore stays at rest — it is not deflected. FALSE. **Rotational dynamics.** The moment of inertia about the centre of mass is
I=2m(=.
With initially along $
