As we have learned

At equatorial Point -

$\dpi{100} E_{equi}= \frac{kP}{\left ( r^{2}+l^{2} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

If r >> l

$E_{equi}= \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\frac{P}{r^{3}}$

$\dpi{100} V_{equi}= 0$

- wherein

Angle between Eaxial and P is 180°.

$V= \frac{p \cos \theta }{r^2}.. if \theta = 0\degree..then..V_a= max$

Option 1)

$90 \degree ..and.. 180 \degree$

Option 2)

$0 \degree ..and.. 90 \degree$

Option 3)

$90 \degree ..and.. 0 \degree$

Option 4)

$0 \degree ..and.. 180 \degree$
