NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 12

What is the formula for the potential due to an electric dipole at a point in space, considering the dipole moment and the angle between the dipole and the point?

A

V = (p * cos θ) / (4 * π * ε₀ * r²)

B

V = (q * r) / (4 * π * ε₀ * p)

C

V = (q * p) / (4 * π * ε₀ * r)

D

V = (p * r) / (2 * π * ε₀ * cos θ)

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The potential due to a dipole is given by the formula V = (p * cos θ) / (4 * π * ε₀ * r²), where p is the dipole moment, θ is the angle, and r is the distance from the dipole. This aligns with the expression derived in the NCERT context.
