A given charge is situated at a certain ...

A given charge is situated at a certain distance from an electric dipole in the end-on position experiences a force `F` If the distance of the charge is doubled, the force acting on the charge will be

A

2F

B

`F//2`

C

`F//4`

D

`F//8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As `F prop (1)/(r^(3))`
As distance is doubled, force will `(1)/(8)`
