Two ideal electric dipoles A and B, having their dipole moment p₁ and p₂ respectively are placed on a plane with their centres at O as shown in the figure. At point C on the axis of dipole A, the resultant electric field is making an angle of 37° with the axis. The ratio of the dipole moment of A and B, p₁ and p₂ , is:
(take sin 37° = 3/5)

Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:tan 37° = E? /E?
E? = k (2p? /r³) axial direction
E? = k (p? /r³) equatorial direction
tan 37° = (k p? /r³) / (k 2p? /r³) = p? / (2p? ) = 3/4
p? /p? = 2/3
