The sketch of the field lines for the given electric and magnetic dipole.
Answer to Problem 1P
The sketch of the field lines for the given electric is shown in Figure 1 and the sketch for magnetic dipole is shown in Figure 2.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An electric dipole is a measure of separating the opposite charges and the magnetic dipole generates the magnetic field between the two opposite poles.
The sketch of the field lines for the given electric dipole is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
The sketchof the field lines for the given magnetic dipole is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2
The fields of both dipoles are same at far distance but the fields of both dipoles are not same at center. The electric field at the center is anti-parallel to the direction of far field above or below the dipole while the magnetic field is parallel to the far field above or below the dipole.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the sketch of the field lines for the given electric is shown in Figure 1 and the sketch for magnetic dipole is shown in Figure 2.
