$A$ and $B$ are two points on the axis and the perpendicular bisector respectively of an electric dipole. $A$ and $B$ are far away from the dipole and at equal distance from it. The electric fields at $A$ and $B$ are $\vec{E}_A$ and $\vec{E}_B$.

  • A
    $\vec{E}_A = \vec{E}_B$
  • B
    $\vec{E}_A = 2 \vec{E}_B$
  • C
    $\vec{E}_A = -2 \vec{E}_B$
  • D
    $|\vec{E}_B| = \frac{1}{2}|\vec{E}_A|$,and $\vec{E}_B$ is perpendicular to $\vec{E}_A$
