Question

Electric force due to a rod on a point along the axial line

Answer 1

Since the electric field due to charge +q is always larger than –q (as the distance of point P from +q is smaller than –q), So the resultant direction of electric field will be away from charge +q (i.e towards right). The direction of electric field on the axial line is always same as the direction of dipole moment.
