The electric field of an electric dipole at a point on its axis , at a distance d from the center of the dipole, varies as

Assertion: The electric field due to dipole on its axis line at a distance r is E . Then electric field due to the same dipole on the equatorial line and at the same distance will be (E )/(2) Reason: Electric field due to dipole varies inversely as the square of distance.
