Question

An asymmetrical electric dipole consists of two opposite but unequal-strength electric charges, as shown in picture 1. 

Which one of the three diagrams given below shows the correct equipotential contours associated with this dipole? (options in picture 2.)

Q1 = +10 nC
Q2 = -3 nC

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given values of charges Q1 = 10 nC and Q2 = -3 nC,

From the given data,

Q1>Q2

Here, electric field lines associated with 10 nC charge will be more intense and large strength,
