Two point charges q and +q are placed at a distance of L, as shown in the figure.

The magnitude of electric field intensity at a distance R(R >> L) varies as:
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
For R >> L, arrangement is an electric dipole
$$E = {{2p} \over {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^3}}}$$; where $p = qL$
$$E \propto {1 \over {{R_3}}}$$
