As shown in the figure,a charge $+q$ is moved from point $A \,(r, 135^{\circ})$ to point $B \,(r, 45^{\circ})$. If the dipole moment is $p$,what is the work done by an external agent?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{qp}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{\sqrt{2} qp}{r^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{qp}{r}$

The force on a charge situated on the axis of a dipole is $F$. If the charge is shifted to double the distance,the new force will be

The figure shows the electric field lines around an electric dipole. Which of the arrows best represents the electric field at point $P$?

An electric dipole of moment $p$ is placed at the origin along the $x$-axis. The electric field at a point $P$,whose position vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,will make an angle $\phi$ with the $x$-axis. If $\tan \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \tan \theta$,where $\alpha$ is the angle between the electric field vector and the position vector,then the angle $\phi$ that the electric field makes with the $x$-axis is:

Three charges are arranged on the vertices of a right-angled triangle as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the dipole moment of the combination in the unit of $C-cm$ is:
