Correct option is B)
If q be the charge on one point of the dipole and the half length is equal to d, then the total dipole moment is given by, p = 2qd If Ea be the field at any axial point, then it is given by r3kp Similarly, the field at any point on the right bisector is given Er=2r3kp Hence, Ea=2Er
