Answer:

Correct Answer: 24. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Given : Length of the dipole (2l)=10cm =0.1m or l=0.05m

Charge on the dipole (q)=500μC=500× 106C and distance of the point on the axis from the mid-point of the dipole (r)=20+5=25cm= 0.25m. We know that the electric field intensity due to dipole on the given point (E)=

14πε0×2(q.2l)r(r2l2)2

=9×109×2(500×106×0.1)×0.25[(0.25)2(0.05)2]2

=225×1033.6×103=6.25×107N/C

The dipole field E1r3 decreases much rapidly as compared to the field of a point charge E1r2
