JEE Advanced Physics Question (2025) — Solution

Question

List-I shows four configurations, each consisting of a pair of ideal electric dipoles. Each dipole has a dipole moment of magnitude p, oriented as marked by arrows in the figures. In all the configurations the dipoles are fixed such that they are at a distance 2 r apart along the x direction. The midpoint of the line joining the two dipoles is X. The possible resultant electric fields E at X are given in List-II. Choose the option that describes the correct match between the entries in List-I to those in List-II. List-I List-II (P) (1) E =0 (Q) (2) E =- p 2 _0 r ^3 j (R) (3) E =- p 4 _0 r ^3 ( i - j ) (S) (4) E = p 4 _0 r ^3 (2 i - j ) (5) E = p _0 r ^3 i
