Derive an expression for electric potential at any point due to an electric dipole.
Asked by nilesh gangwani | 29th Nov, 2010, 10:52: AM
Expert Answer:
Dear student
The potential at point P is the algebraic sum of the potentials due to -q and +q charges. Hence
Potential at point P due to the dipole along the equatorial line will be zero as P is equidistant from the two charges.
We hope this clarifies your doubt.
