Identify the incorrect statement(s) among the following:
(A) Two electric field lines of force never intersect.
(B) Two opposite charges, each of \( 10 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \), separated by 5 mm. The magnitude of the dipole moment is \( 5 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{C-m} \).
(C) Electric field intensity due to a single charge varies as the square of the distance from the charge, whereas electric field intensity due to an electric dipole varies inversely as the cube of the distance of the point.
(D) Electric field intensity due to an electric dipole has spherical symmetry around it in space.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

"Electric field intensity due to an electric dipole has spherical symmetry around it in space." This is incorrect. The electric field of an electric dipole does not have spherical symmetry. It has a more complex, dipolar symmetry, with the field lines spreading outwards and…
