Electric Dipole question from JEE Main 2023 (15 Apr, Shift 1)

Q39JEE Main 2023 · 15 APR · SHIFT 1Easy

Electric Dipole

The electric field due to a short electric dipole at a large distance (r)(r) from center of dipole on the equatorial plane varies with distance as:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Equatorial field of a short dipole: E=p4πϵ0r3E = \frac{p}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^3}.
  2. So E∝1r3E \propto \frac{1}{r^3}.
  3. So the answer is (d) 1r3\frac{1}{r^3}.
