Electric Dipole in Non-Uniform Field

Electric Dipole in Non-Uniform Field

### Formula

$$F=p\frac{dE}{dx}$$

### Terminologies

- F → Net force on dipole.

- p → Dipole moment.

- dE/dx → Rate of change of electric field.

### Conditions / Special Cases

- Dipole experiences both force and torque.

### Usage

- Used in advanced dipole problems
