Two ideal electric dipoles $A$ and $B$ having dipole moments $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ respectively are placed on a plane with their centers at $O$ as shown in the figure. At point $C$ on the axis of dipole $A$,the resultant electric field makes an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the axis. The ratio of the dipole moments of $A$ and $B$,$\frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}$ is $....$ (take $\sin 37^{\circ}=\frac{3}{5}$)

Two electric dipoles of moments $p$ and $27 p$ are placed in opposite directions on a line at a distance of $24 \,cm$. The electric field will be zero at a point between the dipoles whose distance from the dipole of moment $p$ is
