Q.

An electric dipole with dipole moment p02i^+j^ is held fixed at the origin O in the presence of an uniform electric field of magnitude E0. If the potential is constant on a circle of radius R centered at the origin as shown in the figure, then the correct statement (s) is/are : (ε0​ is permittivity of free space. Rdipole size)

Detailed Solution

E0 is the external field in the direction of p=p02i^+j^

Question Image

For an equipotential surface of radius r, the point B is the point at the equatorial line of the dipole. Since, on an equipotential surface, no tangential field exists, so we have

E0=Eeq (in magnitude)

but both in opposite direction (as shown)

p04πε0R3=E0 R=p04πε0E013

Also, A lies at axial line of dipole, so

EA=2p4πε0R3+E0=2E0+E0=3E0

Since Eeq=E0

EB=Eeq-E0=0
