Question

Two point charges + q and -q  arte held fixed at (-d, 0) and (d, 0) respectively of a x-y co - ordinate system.
Then which of the following statement is  incorrect :

Options

A.The electric field E at all points on the x- axis has the same direction
B.No work has to be done in bringing a test charge from to the origin
C.Electric field at all point on y-axis is parallel to x-axis
D.The dipole moment is 2 qd along the -ve x-axis

Solution


In figure (-d, 0) to (d, 0) on x - axis the direction of in + ve x - axis and left side of (-d, 0) the direction in - ve, x-axis, but on y-axis, at any point the net electric field along the x-axis.
