The correct answer is:
\( \vec{E}_{a x}=-2 \vec{E} \)
Both the fields are opposite.
For \( r>>a, \vec{E}_{e q}=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{\vec{p}}{\left(r^{3}\right)} \)
And \( \vec{E}_{a x}=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 \vec{p}}{r^{3}} \)
\( \therefore-2 \vec{E}_{e q}=\vec{E}_{a x} \)
\( \longrightarrow E_{\mathrm{eq}} \)
For \( r>>a, \vec{E}_{e q}=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{\vec{p}}{\left(r^{3}\right)} \)
And \( \vec{E}_{a x}=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 \vec{p}}{r^{3}} \)
\( \therefore-2 \vec{E}_{e q}=\vec{E}_{a x} \)
\( \longrightarrow E_{\mathrm{eq}} \)
