The electric field and the potential of an electric dipole vary with distance r as

Options

  1. A1 r^2 and 1 r
  2. B1 r^2 and 1 r^3
  3. C1 r^3 and 1 r^2
  4. D1 r and 1 r^2

Correct answer

C. 1 r^3 and 1 r^2

Step-by-step solution

We know electric field and potential due to electric dipole on axial position is given as E= 1 4 ₀ 2 p r^3 and V= 1 4 ₀ p r^2 i.e. E 1 r^3 and V 1 r^2
