JEE Main 2 April 2026, Shift 1, Physics Q36

Question 36 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 11 of 25, Section A.

Two short electric dipoles

A

and

B

having dipole moment

p_1

and

p_2

respectively are placed with their axis mutually perpendicular as shown in the figure. The resultant electric field at a point

x

is making an angle of

60^\circ

with the line joining points O and

x

. The ratio of the dipole moments

p_2/p_1

is __________.

The figure, in words

Dipole A lies along the horizontal axis (+ charge at left end) and dipole B along the vertical axis (+ at top, - at bottom), both centred at O; point x lies on a dashed horizontal line to the right of O.
