An electric dipole may experience all of the following except

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An electric dipole experiences a torque in both uniform and nonuniform electric fields, which tends to align the dipole with the field lines. It experiences a force in a nonuniform electric field due to the difference in field strength across the dipole's length. However, in a uniform electric field, the forces on the positive and negative charges of the dipole are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force, only a torque.
