An electric dipole of moment 
m is at the origin 
. The electric field due to this dipole at 
(note that 
) is parallel to:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Since 
and 
are perpendicular to each other, therefore, point lies on the equitorial plane and electric field at the point will be antiparallel to the dipole moment.
