The electric field at point P due to an electric dipole is E. The electric field at point R on equatorial line will be Ex. The value of x : [figure]
Answer
16
Solution
Axial point P (distance r): E = 2kpr3
Equatorial point R (distance 2r): ER = kp(2r)3 = kp8r3
ERE = 18 12 = 116
Eaxial = 2Eequatorial at equal distance and E 1r3
x = 16
Answer: 16
