An electric dipole is placed in a non-uniform electric field such that the angle between $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{E}$ is not $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$. It experiences . . . . . . .

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: The potential $(V)$ at any axial point, at $2 \ m$ distance $(r)$ from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector $\vec{P}$ of magnitude $4 \times 10^{-6} \ C \ m$, is $\pm 9 \times 10^3 \ V$.
(Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ SI$ units)
Reason $R$: $V = \pm \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{P}{r^2}$, where $r$ is the distance of any axial point, situated at $2 \ m$ from the centre of the dipole.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Give the definition of electric dipole moment using the equation of torque.

If the magnitude of the intensity of the electric field at a distance $x$ on the axial line and at a distance $y$ on the equatorial line for a given electric dipole are equal,then the ratio $x:y$ is:
