Dipole Field vs Distance

Electric Dipole · ch01-electric-charges-and-fields

Compare axial and equatorial dipole fields and see how both decay as 1/r^3.

Live values
  • Axial E360.0 N/C
  • Equatorial E180.0 N/C
Eax=2kpr3E_{ax} = \frac{2kp}{r^3}
Eeq=kpr3E_{eq} = \frac{kp}{r^3}
Try this: Axial sits exactly twice as high as equatorial at every distance.
