A

at `(-x_0,0,0)` is along the positive x-axis

B

at (0,`y_0`,0) is along the negative x-axis.

C

at `(0,0,z_0)` is along the negative x-axis

D

all the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Field on the axis of the dipole lies in the direction of dipole
field on the bisector of the dipole lies opposite to the direction of dipole.
