If `E_(alpha)` be the electric field strength of a short dipole at a point on its axial line and `E_(e)` that on the equatorial line at the same distance, then

A

`E_(e)=2E_(alpha)`

B

`E_(alpha)=2E_(e)`

C

`E_(alpha)=E_(e)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that, electric field strength at axial line,
`E_(a)=(2kp)/(r^(3))`
and electric field strength at equatorial line,
`E_(e)=(kp)/(r^(3))`
`therefore E_(a)=2E_(e)`
