$A$ point $Q$ lies on the perpendicular bisector of an electric dipole with dipole moment $p$. If the distance of $Q$ from the dipole is $r$ (where $r$ is much larger than the size of the dipole),then the electric field at $Q$ is proportional to:

  • A
    $p^{-1}$ and $r^{-2}$
  • B
    $p$ and $r^{-2}$
  • C
    $p^{-1}$ and $r^{-3}$
  • D
    $p$ and $r^{-3}$
