What is the angle between the electric dipole moment and the electric ...
On equatorial line, the direction of electric field is reversed to that of angle of axial line. Therefore, the angle between dipole moment and electric field is 180.

What is the angle between the electric dipole moment and the electric ...
Explanation:
An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. The electric dipole moment is defined as the product of the magnitude of the charge and the distance between them.
The electric field lines around an electric dipole are shown in the figure below.

On the equatorial plane of the dipole, the electric field is perpendicular to the electric dipole moment. This can be seen from the figure below.

Thus, the angle between the electric dipole moment and the electric field on the equatorial line of the dipole is 180 degrees.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
