To derive the expression for the electric field due to a dipole at a point on the dipole axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Dipole Consider an electric dipole consisting of two charges, +Q and -Q, separated by a distance of 2a. The dipole moment \( \vec{p} \) is defined as: \[ \vec{p} = Q \cdot 2a \] ...
