An electric dipole produces electric field in its surroundings.The angle between the directions of electric field at any point on the axial line and the electric field at any point on the equatorial line is

A

`0^(@)`

B

`90^(@)`

C

`180^(@)`

D

`60^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The axial filed is from +ve charge to -ve charge and the equatorial field is from -ve charge to +ve charge. As the y are anti parallel the angle is `180^(@)`.
