How do the magnitude and direction of the electric field on the left side of the dipole compare to the right side for the same distance

Sagot :

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is same while the direction at the left and at the right is opposite to each other.

Explanation:

The direction of the electric field due to the dipole on the axial line is same as  the direction of dipole moment.

The magnitude of the electric field due to an electric dipole on its axial line is

[tex]E=\frac{2kp}{r^3}[/tex]

where, k is the constant, p is the electric dipole moment and r is the distance from the center of dipole.

The magnitude of the electric field is same while the direction at the left and at the right is opposite to each other.
