For a short dipole placed at origin \(O\), the dipole moment \(P\) is along \(x\)-axis, as shown in the figure. If the electric potential and electric field at A are \(\mathrm{V}_0\) and \(\mathrm{E}_0\), respectively, then the correct combination of the electric potential and electric field, respectively, at point \(B\) on the \(y\)-axis is given by...

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) zero and \(\frac{E_0}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At point \(A\) (axial)
\(\left|E_0\right|=\frac{2 k_p}{r^3}, V_0=\frac{k_p}{r^2}\)
At point \(B\) (equatorial)
\(\begin{aligned}
& |E|=\frac{k_p}{(2 r)^3}=\frac{E_0}{16} \\
& V=0
\end{aligned}\)
