JEE Main 2020Electrostatics Question with Solution

JEE Main 2020 (06 Sep Shift 2)

Question

Two identical electric point dipoles have dipole have dipole moments p1=pi^ and p2=pi^ and are held on the x-axis at distance 'a' from each other. When released, they move along the x-axis with the direction of their dipole moments remaining unchanged. If the mass of each dipole is 'm', their speed when they are infinitely far apart is :

Correct answer
BPa12πε0ma

Step-by-step explanation

  

ki+ui=kf+uf

0-2kpr3p2·cos180°=12mv2+12mv2+0

mv2=2kp1p2r3

θ=2kp1p2mr3

p1=p2=p&r=a

v=pa12πϵ0ma
