An electric dipole is placed in a nonuniform electric filedIs there a net force on the dipole?
yes, there is a NET field .electric dipole experiences a net field .(not in uniform E.Field)
What is earths magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
What is the region of the earths magnetic field?
magnetosphere
What does the Earths magnetic field resemble?
That of bar magnet..
Which location is earths magnetic field is the strongest?
The equator
What is the angle between dipole moment and electric field in a electric dipole?
Zero Dipole would set itself such that dipole moment vector is along the electric field vector
When is the torque on an electric dipole in an electric field is maximum?
That would have to be when the dipole axis is perpendicular to the field.
Which orientation of an electric dipole in an uniform electric field would correspond to unstable equilibrium?
So interesting query! As we keep the dipole with its dipole moment along the direction of the electric field then it will be in stable equilibrium. IF we keep the same dipole inverted ie its dipole moment opposite to the external field then the dipole will be in unstable equilibrium.
What is the nature of symmetry of a field due to a dipole?
the nature of symmetry of a field due to a dipole is cylindrical in nature
You turn an electric dipole end for end in a uniform electric field.How does the work you do depend on the initial orientation of the dipole with respect to the field?
The work done by you to turn the electric dipole end for end in a uniform electric field depends on the initial orientation of the dipole with respect to the field. If the dipole is initially oriented such that its positive and negative charges are parallel to the electric field, then no net work is done as the electric field does not do any work on the dipole as the electric field lines do not transfer any energy. On the other hand, if the dipole is initially oriented such that its positive and negative charges are perpendicular to the electric field, then work is done by you to turn the dipole as the electric field exerts a force on the charges in the dipole in opposite directions, causing them to move in opposite directions. As a result, you have to do work to move the charges and turn the dipole.

yes, there is a NET field .electric dipole experiences a net field .(not in uniform E.Field)
If a magnetic dipole is placed in a magnetic field the dipole is found to have both rotational and translational motion.what would you infer about the magnetic field?
Dipole not aligned with B field = rotational motion B field not constant along field direction = translational motion
Applications of electric dipole materials in the field of electronics?
uses of dipole materials
What is the expression for the electric field in the perpendicular bisector plane of a dipole?
expression for the electric field in the perpendicular bisector plane of a dipole
Why does a dipole moment orient from negative to positive if in an electric field the field runs from positive to negative?
Because opposite charges attract. The negative end of the dipole moment is trying to get to the positive end of the field, and the positive end of the dipole is trying to get to the negative end of the field.
How electric field is equal to force by dipole moment?
when dipole moment,torque and electric field all the three are perpendicular to each other.
What do we call the point beneath earths surface where the earthquake originates?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
