Electric Field due to Dipole

The electric field due to an electric dipole is ……….. symmetric.

What is meant by the statement, ''the electric field of a point charge has spherical symmetry, whereas that of an electric dipole is cylindrically symmetric'' ?

What is meant by the statement that the electric field of a point charge has spherical symmetry, whereas that f an electric dipole is cylindrically symmetrical?

What is meant by the statement that the electric field of a point charge has spherical symmetry whereas that of electric dipole is cylindrically symmetrical?

Derive an expression for electric field due to an electric dipole at a point on the axial line.
