An electrical dipole coincides on the $z$-axis and its midpoint is at the origin of the coordinate system. The electric field at an axial point at a distance $z$ from the origin is $\vec{E}(z)$ and the electric field at an equatorial point at a distance $y$ from the origin is $\vec{E}(y)$. Here $z = y \gg a$,so $\left| \frac{\vec{E}(z)}{\vec{E}(y)} \right| = . . . . . . . .$.
