Which orientation of an electric dipole in a uniform electric field would correspond to stable equilibrium?
Mickyaradhana
when angle 0 b/w dipole moment vector p and electric field vector E is zero then potential energy of dipole, U=-pEcos0 =-pE and torque=pEsin0=0;which means that the electric dipole is in stable equilibrium.

Is the electric intensity at any two points in a uniform electric field equal?
Yes. That's what "uniform electric field" means.
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.
Discuss if a body moving with uniform velocity is in equilibrium?
A body moving with uniform velocity is in equilibrium when it moves with uniform velocity as no acceleration i.e. no net force acts on the body.The sum of all forces must be zero in this case. (To avoid rotation, the sum of all torques must also be zero).
A body is in equilibrium when it's?
when it is at rest, or in constant uniform motion with net force and moment of zero (no acceleration)

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.

Yes. That's what "uniform electric field" means.
How many states of equilibrium are?
there are two types of equilibrium are: 1. static (at rest position) 2. dynamic (in uniform motion)

Their is no uniform,even though it says it the in the high school directory,and if you dont believe this answer go to the orientation

What are the measurements on US army dress green uniform?
Those would correspond to typical suit sizes, and the individual to whom it belongs.
What is difference between crystal lattice and space lattice?
crystal lattice is the orientation of atom in uniform manner with same characterized.where as space lattice is the three dimensional orientation of atom with different existing property.
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)

0
What will be the movement of charge when enter in a uniform electric field?
The charge will be accelerated by the electric force a=f/m where f=eE, a= eE/m.
