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

A

`E_(e)=2E_(a)`

B

`E_(a)=2E_(e)`

C

`E_(a)=E_(e)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have, `E_(a)=(2kp)/(r^(3))` and `R_(e)=(kp)/(r^(3))`
`:." "E_(a)=2E_(e)`
