Electrostatics Question 317

Question: Two electric dipoles of moment P and 64 P are placed in opposite direction on a line at a distance of 25 cm. The electric field will be zero at point between the dipoles whose distance from the dipole of moment P is [MP PET 2003]

Options:

A) 5 cm

B) 259 cm

C) 10 cm

D) 413 cm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Suppose neutral point N lies at a distance x from dipole of moment p or at a distance x2 from dipole of 64 p. At N |E. F. due to dipole |= |E. F. due to dipole ‚| therefore 14πε0.2px3=14πε0.2(64p)(25x)3

therefore 1x3=64(25x)3

therefore x = 5 cm.
