For a short electric dipole, identify the incorrect statement(s).
(A) The electric field intensity varies inversely with the cube of the distance from the center of the dipole.
(B) The electric field is directed from negative to positive charge.
(C) The electric potential at mid-point of the dipole is zero.
(D) The electric field intensity at mid-point of the dipole is zero.
Choose the correct answer from the option given below :

  1. A (A) and (C) only
  2. B (B) and (D) only
  3. C (A) only
  4. D (B) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement (B): Electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges. Thus, statement (B) is incorrect. Statement (D): At the mid-point of the dipole, electric fields due to \(+q\) and \(-q\) are in the same direction (from \(+q\) to \(-q\)), so…
