NEET Physics Electric Dipole MCQ Question
Consider a diagram of an electric dipole consisting of charges +q and -q separated by a distance 2a. If the dipole moment vector is shown, which of the following correctly describes its direction?
From -q to +q along the dipole axis
From +q to -q along the dipole axis
Perpendicular to the line joining +q and -q
From the midpoint between +q and -q to infinity
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The dipole moment vector has a magnitude of 2qa and is directed from -q to +q along the dipole axis, as stated in Chunk 1 of the NCERT context.
