two point charges of 2 micro Coulomb but opposite in sign are placed 10 cm apart calculate the electric field at a point distant 10 cm from the mid point on the axial line of the dipole

as given in question that their are two charges of 2×10-6 coloumb so these charges act as a dipole distance of seperation  d=(2a) = 10 cm=10-1mdistance from mid point on axial line   r = 10 cmsince  p =q×2a = 2×10-6 ×10 -1=2×10-7as we know that the electric feild due to dipole on axial line E = 14πε2pr2E= 9×109 2×2×10-710-2E=36×104  N/C   ans..

.hello rahul,
first of all the eqn 4:the gn qtn is

E=2*2aq/r^(3) i.e rcube

also gn ,
r=10cm,
2a=10cm,
q=2*10^(-6)

substituting evrytingin the gn eqn v get

E=2*10*2*10^(-6)/10^(3)

=40*10^(-6-3)

=4*10^(-8)


hope my ans. is right......

yep sorry I forgot to multiply
k in the eqn

actually the ans I guess shd b 360N/C

dry 4 the inconvenience.
