alleryStart learning →On the axis of a dipole, the field is directed
Atowards the negative charge only
Bopposite to the dipole moment
Calong the dipole moment
Dperpendicular to the axis
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. along the dipole moment
The nearer charge dominates, and the resultant on the axis points along p, from negative to positive charge.
