Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider two dipoles are placed at two points \(A\) and \(B\) in opposite direction. Let \(P\) be the null point, where net electric field intensity is found to be zero. \(x\) be distance of point from electric dipole at \(A\). By using expression of electric field intensity at…
