To find the ratio of electric field intensity at a point on the equatorial line to the field at a point on the axial line when the points are at the same distance from the center of the dipole, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electric Dipole An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges, +q and -q, separated by a distance 'a'. The electric dipole moment (P) is defined as: \[ P = q \cdot a \] The direction of the dipole moment is from the negative charge to the positive charge. ### Step 2: Identify the Positions ...
