Question
An electric dipole of 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 = 1/2 tan θ)
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 = 1/2 tan θ)Options
A.α
B.θ
C.θ + α
D.θ + 2α
Solution
In shown diagram,
= Net electric field vector due to dipole. (by derivation) & tan α = 1/2 tan θ∴ angle made by
with x-axis is (θ + α) Create a free account to view solution
