The angle between the dipole moment and ...

The angle between the dipole moment and electric field at any point on the equatorial plane is

A

`90^(@)`

B

`45^(@)`

C

`0^(@)`

D

`180^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The direction of electric field `vec((E))` at any point on the equatorial line is opposite to the dipole moment `vec((p))`. Thus the angle between the `vecpandvecE` is `180^(@)`.
