An electric dipole of dipole moment 
is placed at the origin along the x-axis. The angle made by electric field with x-axis at a point P, whose position vector makes an angle θ with x-axis, is: (where, tanα = 
)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
In shown diagram, 
= Net electric field vector due to dipole. (by derivation) & tan α = 
tanθ
∴ angle made by 
with x-axis is (θ + α)
