An electric dipole is placed at a distance of 2 cm from an infinite plane sheet having positive charge density \sigma_0. Choose the correct option from the following. [29 Jan 2025 Shift 2]

Correct Answer is : Potential energy of dipole is minimum and torque is zero.

Torque on dipole is zero and net force acts towards the sheet.

Potential energy of dipole is minimum and torque is zero.

Potential energy and torque both are maximum.

Torque on dipole is zero and net force is directed away from the sheet.
