Electrostatics Question 320

Question: The electric field due to an electric dipole at a distance r from its centre in axial position is E. If the dipole is rotated through an angle of $ \text{9}0{}^\circ $ about its perpendicular axis, the electric field at the same point will be [J & K CET 2005]

Options:

A) E

B) E / 4

C) E / 2

D) 2E

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

When the dipole is rotated through at an angle of $ \text{9}0{}^\circ $ about it’s perpendicular axis then given point comes out to be on equator. So field will become E / 2 at the given point.
