2. A short electric dipole has a dipole moment of $16 \times 10^{-9} C m$. The electric potential due to the dipole at a point at a distance of $0.6 m$ from the centre of the dipole, situated on a line making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the dipole axis is : [2020] $(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2} / C^{2})$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Given,

Dipole moment of short electric dipole,

$p=16 \times 10^{-9} Cm$.

Distance from centre of dipole, $r=0.6 m$

Electric potential, $V=\frac{k p \cos \theta}{r^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow V=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 16 \times 10^{-9} \times \cos 60}{0.36}=200 V$
