Two point charges -q and +q are placed at a distance of L, as shown in the figure.
The magnitude of electric field intensity at a distance 
varies as [NEET 2022]
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The arrangement of charges shown in the figure is an electric dipole. Hence, electric field at point P at a distance 
from the dipole is equal to electric field due to electric dipole on axial position.
i.e., 
where, 
(Electric dipole moment)
