Write the expression for electric potent...

Write the expression for electric potential at a contrasting feature of electric potential of dipole at a point as compared to that due to a point charge.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`V = (1)/(4pi epsi_0) ((vecp.vecr)/(r^2))`
For an electric dipole `V prop (1)/(r^2)`
For a point charge `V = (1)/(4pi epsi_0) (q/r) rArr V prop 1/r`
