AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of points in space around an electric dipole where its electric field intensity is zero, 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 'd'. The dipole moment (P) is defined as \( P = Q \cdot d \) and points from the negative charge to the positive charge. **Hint:** Recall the definition of an electric dipole and its dipole moment. ### Step 2: Electric Field of a Dipole ...

For an electric dipole potential & electric field

Define electric field intensity at a point.

Assertion: If there is a system of two unequal point charges of any polarity then there is one and only one point in space around it where the electric field intensity is zero. Reason: The direction of electric field intensity at a point is away from the positive charge and towards the negative charge, along the line joining the charge and location where electric field intensity is to be calculated.
