JEE Main 2025 — 22 January, Evening Shift — Question 51

For a short dipole placed at origin O , the dipole moment P is along x -axis,

as shown in the figure. If the electric potential and electric field at A are

V0V_{0} and E0E_{0}, respectively, then the correct combination of the

electric potential and electric field, respectively, at point BB on the yy-axis is given by

Question figure
  1. Option A:

    V02\frac{V_{0}}{2} and E016\frac{E_{0}}{16}

  2. Option B:
