$A$ point dipole $\vec{p} = -p_0\hat{x}$ is kept at the origin. The potential and electric field due to this dipole on the $y$-axis at a distance $d$ are,respectively: (Take $V = 0$ at infinity)

  • A
    $\frac{|\vec{p}|}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 d^2}, \frac{-\vec{p}}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 d^3}$
  • B
    $0, \frac{\vec{p}}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 d^3}$
  • C
    $\frac{|\vec{p}|}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 d^2}, \frac{\vec{p}}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 d^3}$
  • D
    $0, \frac{-\vec{p}}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 d^3}$
