what is the nature of sysmmetery of the electric field due to (i) point charge and (ii) electric dipole ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electric field due to a point charge has spherical symmetry with point charge at the center, It is so because, the electric field due to dipole will be same at every point on the surface of a right circular cylinder with electric dipole as sthe axis.
