A short electric dipole has a dipole moment of 16 × 10⁻⁹ C·m. The electric potential due to the dipole at a point at a distance of 0.6 m from the centre of the dipole, situated on a line making an angle of 60° with the dipole axis is:

1. 200V
2. 400V
3. zero
4. 50V

Correct answer: 50V

Solution

The electric potential due to a dipole at a point is given by V = (1/4πε₀) * (p * cosθ / r²). Substituting p = 16 × 10⁻⁹ C·m, θ = 60°, r = 0.6 m, and ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² F/m, we get V = 50V.
