Q49 · Physics

An electric dipole is placed as shown in the figure.

The electric potential (in 10210^2 V) at point P due to the dipole is (ϵ0\epsilon_0 = permittivity of free space and 14πϵ0=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}= K):

The figure, described in words

Dipole on a line: −q at 3 cm left of origin O, +q at 3 cm right of O; point P on the axis at 5 cm from O (beyond +q).
