An electric dipole with dipole moment p02i^+j^ is held fixed at the origin O in the presence of an uniform electric field of magnitude E0. If the potential is constant on a circle of radius R centered at the origin as shown in figure, then the correct statement(s) is/are:
( ε0 is permittivity of free space, R>> dipole size)

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, D
Solution:


Radius of circle,Rdipole size
As, circle is equipotential
So,Enetshould beto surface, sokp0r3=E0r=kp0E01/3Ais correct
At pointBnet electric field will be zero.
EB=0
EANet=2kp0r3+E0=3E0
Electric field at pointA, EA=32E0i^+j^Cis incorrect
EBNet=0Dis correct
