Electric intensity due to an electric dipole varies with distance as where 'n" i

Electric intensity due to an electric dipole varies with distance \( r \) as \( E \alpha r^{n}, \) where 'n" is

  • A. -3
  • B. -2
  • C. -1
  • D. 0

Step-by-step solution

The electric field due to a dipole varies inversely with the cube of the distance (E ∝ 1/r³), so n = -3.
