An electric dipole of momentp=-i^-3j^+2k^×10-29 C mat the origin0,0,0. The electric field due to this dipole atr=+i^+3j^+5k^(note thatrp=0) is parallel to:

Question diagram: An electric dipole of moment p → = - i ^ - 3 j ^ + 2 k ^ × 1

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

As r·p=0, this means that r is perpendicular to p.

For an electric dipole, electric field at equatorial position is antiparallel to p.

E=-λp,

where, λ is an arbitrary positive constant.

E=-λ-i^-3j^+2k^×10-29 C m-2

E=λi^+3j^-2k^×10-29 C m-2

For λ=110-29 

E=i^+3j^-2k^ C m-2
