The electric field due to a short electric dipole at a large distance $(r)$ from the center of the dipole on the equatorial plane varies with distance as:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{r}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{r^3}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{r^2}$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If an electric dipole of dipole moment $30 \times 10^{-5} \, Cm$ is enclosed by a closed surface,the net flux coming out of the surface will be zero.
Reason $R$: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

As shown in the figure,a charge $+q$ is moved from point $A \,(r, 135^{\circ})$ to point $B \,(r, 45^{\circ})$. If the dipole moment is $p$,what is the work done by an external agent?
