Question

Consider a dipole consisting of a pair of charges with q > 0. The charges are connected by a rigid, insulating rod of length d=2 5 cm. The charges have equal magnitude q = 8 mu C and opposite sign and are arranged as depicted the figure below. Which of the following statements are true: (Give ALL correct answers, i.e., B, AC, BCD...) When we switch on a uniform electric field pointing UP along the y-axis, then the dipole system will feel no net force. When we switch on a uniform electric field pointing UP along the y-axis, then the dipole system will start to rotate clockwise. A Gaussian cube of side length 2d centered on the origin will have a net electric flux of zero passing through it. When we switch on a uniform electric field pointing LEFT along the x-axis, then the dipole will start to rotate counter-clockwise. When we switch on a uniform electric field pointing RIGHT along the x-axis, then the lower charge in the dipole will feel a net force to the right.
