Two short electric dipoles A and B having dipole moment p1 and p2 respectively are placed with their axes mutually perpendicular as shown in the figure. The resultant electric field at a point x is making an angle of 60 with the line joining points O and x. The ratio of the dipole moments p2/p1 is . [figure]

Answer

(2) 2 3

Solution

[figure]

Let Ox=r. Point x is on the axial line of A and on the equatorial line of B.

Axial field of A (along the line Ox): EA= 2kp1r3

Equatorial field of B (opposite to p2, perpendicular to Ox): EB= kp2r3

EA EB, and the resultant makes 60 with Ox:

60 = EBEA= kp2/r32kp1/r3= p22p1

p2p1=2 60 =2 3
