Q11 / 250 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Electrostatics

The electric field of an electric dipole at a point on its axis, at a distance d from the centre of the dipole, varies as

  • A
    1d
  • B
    1d2
  • Correct answer
    C
    1d3
  • D
    1d32

Solution

The electric field of an electric dipole at a point on its axis at a distance d from the centre of the dipole is

E=2p4πε0d3, where p is the dipole moment of the dipole.

Hence, E∝1d3

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
