Homework Statement
Two short dipoles each of dipole moment p are placed art origin. The dipole moment of one dipole is along x-axis while that of other is along y axis. Then what will be the electric field at a point (a, 0)?
Homework Equations
The direction of electric field due to axial dipole has to be along +ve x-axis while electric field due to equatorial dipole should be towards -ve x axis.
The Attempt at a Solution
So shouldn't the net electric field at (a, 0) be
E=2kp/a3-kp/a3
Well the answer is k50.5p/a3.can someone please explain where I am wrong?
