Electric Charges And Fields

Question

An electric dipole is held in a uniform electric field. Show that no translation force acts on it.

Solution

Since the electric dipole is held in a uniform electric field no net force is acting on the dipole.
Force due to -q is -qE and force due to +q is qE. Hence the no net force is acting on it and the translational forces is 0.
