If $E_{a}$ and $E_{q}$ represent the electric field intensity due to a short dipole at a point on its axial line and on the equatorial line at the same distance $r$ from the centre of the dipole,then

  • A
    $E_{a} = E_{q}$
  • B
    $E_{a} = \frac{1}{2} E_{q}$
  • C
    $E_{a} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} E_{q}$
  • D
    $E_{a} = 2E_{q}$
