Question:

A point dipole is located at the origin in some orientation. The electric field at the point (10 cm, 10 cm) on the x-y plane is measured to have a magnitude 1.0×10⁻³ V/m. What will be the magnitude of the electric field at the point (20cm, 20cm)

Options :

  • a) 5.0 x 10⁻⁴ V/m
  • b) 2.5 x 10⁻⁴ V/m
  • c) It will depend on the orientation of the dipole
  • d) 1.25 x 10⁻⁴ V/m
