  • C
    $64 \times 10^{-4} \, Nm$ and $32 \times 10^{-4} \, J$
  • D

Three point charges $q, -2q$ and $q$ are placed along the $x$-axis at $x = -a, 0$ and $a$ respectively. As $a \rightarrow 0$ and $q \rightarrow \infty$ while $qa^2 = Q$ remains finite, the electric field at a point $P$, at a distance $x$ $(x \gg a)$ from $x = 0$ is $E = \frac{\alpha Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 x^\beta} \hat{i}$. Then:

Point $P$ lies on the axis of a dipole. If the dipole is rotated by $90^o$ anticlockwise,the electric field vector $\vec{E}$ at $P$ will rotate by

An electric dipole is placed at the origin in the direction of the $x$-axis. $A$ point $P$ is at a distance of $20 \, cm$ from the origin $O$ such that $OP$ makes an angle of $\pi/3$ with the $x$-axis. If the electric field at point $P$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,then the value of $\theta$ is:
