1; When is an electric dipole in stable equilibrium in

Sol: At @= 0 ie. ifthe direction of dipole moment P
is in the direetion of electric field E
2. What is a net force on a dipole in an electric field?
Sol: Zero
3. Why two electric lines of forces do not intersect
‘each other?
Sol: If they intersect, then we can draw two tangents
atthe point of intersection. It means there would
bbe two directions of electric field intensity at the
Point of intersection, which is not possible.
AL Why do electric lines of force cannot have break?
Sol: We know that electric lines of force start from

Conservative nature of Electrostatic force:
A force is said to be conservative if work done
between two points is independent of the path
followed between the two points. Work done
only depends upon initial and final position.
We prove that electrostatic force is conservative
by showing that the work done in moving a unit
positive test charge over a closed path in electric
field is zero.

from point A to point B, then
