For a short dipole placed at origin O , the dipole moment P is along x -axis, as shown in the figure. If the electric potential and electric field at A are V ₀ and E ₀ , respectively, then the correct combination of the electric potential and electric field, respectively, at point B on the y -axis is given by
Options
- AV₀ and E₀ 4
- Bzero and E₀ 16
- Czero and E₀ 8
- DV ₀ 2 and E ₀ 16
Correct answer
B. zero and E₀ 16
Step-by-step solution
At point A (axial) |E₀ |= 2 k_p r^3 , V₀= k_p r^2 At point B (equatorial) aligned & |E|= k_p (2 r)^3 = E₀ 16 & V=0 aligned
