NEET Physics Electric dipole MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Two charges of +25 × 10⁻⁹ coulomb and –25 × 10⁻⁹ coulomb are placed 6 m apart. Find the electric field intensity ratio at points 4 m from the centre of the electric dipole (i) on axial line (ii) on equatorial line

A

1000/49

B

49/1000

C

500/49

D

49/500

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The electric field on the axial line is given by Eₐ = 2kp/r³ and on the equatorial line by Eₑ = kp/r³. The ratio Eₐ/Eₑ = 2. Substituting the values gives 1000/49.
