Electric Dipole

If EaE_a and EqE_q represent the electric field intensity due to a short dipole at a point on its axial line and on the equatorial line at the same distance 'rr' from the centre of the dipole, then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Short dipole: Ea=2kpr3E_a = \frac{2kp}{r^3} on the axis, Eq=kpr3E_q = \frac{kp}{r^3} on the equator.
  2. So Ea=2EqE_a = 2E_q, answer (d).
