JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Electric Dipole

  • question_answer
    The value of electric potential at any point due to any electric dipole is                                   [MP PMT 2004]

    A)            \[k.\frac{\overrightarrow{p}\times \overrightarrow{r}}{{{r}^{2}}}\]             

    B)            \[k.\frac{\overrightarrow{p}\times \overrightarrow{r}}{{{r}^{3}}}\]

    C)                    \[k.\frac{\overrightarrow{p}\cdot \overrightarrow{r}}{{{r}^{2}}}\]

    D)                                           \[k.\frac{\overrightarrow{p}\cdot \overrightarrow{r}}{{{r}^{3}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Potential due to dipole in general position is given by                                 \[V=\frac{k.p\cos \theta }{{{r}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[V=\frac{k.p\cos \theta \,r}{{{r}^{3}}}=\frac{k.\,(\vec{p}.\vec{r})}{{{r}^{3}}}\]
