Question

Due to an electric dipole, the ratio of electric field intensities of a point which is at equal distance from longitudinal and transverse positions will be :

• A. $1:2$
• B. $2:1$
• C. $1:4$
• D. $4:1$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2:1$

$\frac{E_{axial}}{E_{transverse}}=\frac{\frac{1}{4\pi {ϵ}_0}\frac{2p}{r^3}}{\frac{1}{4\pi {ϵ}_0}\frac{p}{r^3}}=\frac{2}{1}$
