JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

An electric dipole of moment \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}}=(-\hat{\mathrm{i}}-3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \times 10^{-29}\; \mathrm{C} \cdot \mathrm{m}\) is at the origin \((0,0,0) .\) The electric field due to this dipole at \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=+\hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+5 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\) (note that \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}}=0)\) is parallel to

  1. A \((-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})\)
  2. B \((+\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})\)
  3. C \((+\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})\)
  4. D \((-\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((+\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

since \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}}\) are perpendicular to each other therefore point lies on the equitorial plane. Therefore electric field at the point will be antiparallel to the dipole moment. i.e.…
