Download Solution PDFExplanation:
In a nonuniform electric field, an electric dipole experiences both a torque and a net force. The torque acts to align the dipole with the electric field, while the net force arises because the electric field strength varies from one point to another, creating a differential force on the positive and negative charges of the dipole.
Therefore, in a nonuniform electric field, an electric dipole experiences both torque as well as a net force.
∴ The correct answer is option 2.
