Question
Let Ea be the electron field due to a dipole in is axial plane distantl and Eq be the field in the equatorial plant distant l′, then the relation between Ea and Eq will be:
Options
A.Ea = 4Eq
B.Eq = 2Ea
C.Ea = 2Eq
D.Eq = 3Ea
Solution
We know that for short dipole, field at axial point, Eq = 
and field at equatorial point, Eq =
So, Eq = 2Eq

and field at equatorial point, Eq =

So, Eq = 2Eq
