Q. The electric field at a point on equatorial line of a dipole and direction of the dipole moment in direction.

Electric field is always directed from positive to negative. While dipole moment is always directed from negative to positive. So, it seems that dipole moment and electric field should always be in opposite directions. But in questions we come across that dipole moment is inclined at some angle to the direction of electric field. Why?
