A given charge is situated at a certain distance from an electric dipole in the end-on position experiences a force `F` If the distance of the charge is doubled, the force acting on the charge will be

A

2F

B

F/2

C

F/4

D

F/8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In case of an electric dipole, `F prop 1/(r^(3))`
`:.` New force `=F//2^(3)=F//8`
