Question

Choose the incorrect statement from the following. (A) The electric field in electrostatics obey principle of superposition (B) The electric field inside a perfect conductor is zero (C) The electric dipole will try to orient in a direction opposite to the external electric field (D) The electric flux passing through any closed surface enclosing the charges remains constant

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Third statement is incorrect because electric dipole will always try to orient in the direction of electric field in order to achieve minimum potential energy and maximum stability. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/8096cef76964765c5ba6935f47716ff3-.png" />

Q. Choose the incorrect statement from the following.

The electric field in electrostatics obey principle of superposition

The electric field inside a perfect conductor is zero

The electric dipole will try to orient in a direction opposite to the external electric field

The electric flux passing through any closed surface enclosing the charges remains constant

Third statement is incorrect because electric dipole will always try to orient in the direction of electric field in order to achieve minimum potential energy and maximum stability.
