Uniform electric field formation in motional emf induction

Why is the electric field $E$ across the ends of a conducting rod, when it's moved with a uniform velocity $v$ in a magnetic field $B$, uniform? Wouldn't it vary non-linearly, since there are opposite ...

Is the vector potential component $A_\phi$ for a dipole necessarily 0 due to symmetry about the $z$-axis?

Consider an electric dipole (+$q(t)$, -$q(t)$) [where say $q(t)=q_0\cos\omega t$] is placed along the $\hat z$ axis. In the spherical polar coordinates, its vector potential $$\vec{A} = A_r \hat r + ...
