NCERT · Class 12 · Physics · Electric Charges and FieldsThe ratio of electric field intensity at a distance $r$ on the axial line to that on the equatorial line for a short electric dipole is:
For a short electric dipole, electric field on the axial line is $E_{\text{axial}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{2p}{r^3}$ and on the equatorial line is $E_{\text{equatorial}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{p}{r^3}$.\nTherefore, $\frac{E_{\text{axial}}}{E_{\text{equatorial}}} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 : 1$.
