Question

What is the angle between the directions of electric field at any

(i) Axial point and

(ii) Equatorial point due to an electric dipole?

Answer 1

The directions of electric field \(\overrightarrow {E_1}\) at axial point P₁ and electric field \(\overrightarrow {E_2}\) at equatorial point P₂ are shown in fig. Obviously, angle between \(\overrightarrow {E_1}\) and \(\overrightarrow {E_2}\) is 180°.
