Question

The electric potential on the axis of an electric dipole at a distance ‘r from it’s centre is V. Then the potential at a point at the same distance on its equatorial line will be ______.

Options

• 2V

• -V

• V/2

• Zero

Answer 1

The electric potential on the axis of an electric dipole at a distance ‘r from it’s centre is V. Then the potential at a point at the same distance on its equatorial line will be zero.

Explanation:

Potential on the equatorial line of dipole is always zero.
