An electric dipole of moment 
C.m. is at the origin (0, 0, 0). The electric field due to this dipole at 
(note that 
= 0) is parallel to :
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
position vector 
Vectors 
and 
are perpendicular to each other.
From the figure, electric field at 
will be anti-parallel to the direction of 
(The given point is an axial point and electric field at an axial point is anti-parallel to the direction of 
where 
is parallel to
