A small object with electric dipole moment p S is placed

Chapter 26, Problem 52

(choose chapter or problem)

A small object with electric dipole moment p S is placed in a nonuniform electric field E S 5 E1x2i ^. That is, the field is in the x direction, and its magnitude depends only on the coordinate x. Let u represent the angle between the dipole moment and the x direction. Prove that the net force on the dipole is F 5 p a dE dx b cos u acting in the direction of increasing field.
