24. Electric Force & Field; Gauss' Law
Electric Fields in Capacitors
Multiple Choice
Multiple ChoiceA water molecule is a dipole. If water were placed in the uniform field between capacitor plates, which of the following would best describe the force and torque experienced by the water molecules?
A
The force would be toward the positive plate, and there would never be any torque.
B
The force would be toward the negative plate, and there would never be any torque.
C
The force would be toward the positive plate, and the torque would align the dipole moment with the electric field.
D
The force would be toward the negative plate, and the torque would align the dipole moment with the electric field.
E
Both the force and the torque would be zero.
F
The force would be zero, and the torque would align the dipole moment with the electric field.
