Q29MHT CET 2024 · 10 MAY · SHIFT 2Easy

Electric Dipole

The electric potential at a point on the axis of an electric dipole is proportional to [r = distance between centre of the electric dipole and the point]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Axial potential of a dipole: $V = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{p}{r^2}$ (for $r \gg$ length).
So $V \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$ , answer (b).
