A small electric dipole is placed at origin with its dipole-moment directed along positive x-axis. The direction of electric field at point (2,22,0) is

a
along z-axis
b
along y-axis
c
along negative y-axis
d
along negative z-axis.

detailed solution

Correct option is B

tan⁡θ=yx=222=2cot⁡θ=12tan⁡ϕ=tan⁡θ2=22=12=cot⁡θNow, tan⁡ϕ=E0Er=tan⁡θ2then ϕ=90∘−θi.e. E→ is along +ve y-axis
