Statement I: On going away from a point charge or a small electric dipole, electric field decreases at the same rate in both the cases.
Statement II: Electric field is inversely proportional to square of distance from the charge of an electric dipole.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
For electric dipole, the field falls as cube of distance from the dipole center. But for point charge, it falls as square of distance. So, both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
