To derive the expression for the intensity of the electric field at an end-on position (axial position) of an electric dipole, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Electric Dipole An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges, +Q and -Q, separated by a distance of 2L. The distance from the center of the dipole to each charge is L. ### Step 2: Identify the Point of Interest Consider a point P located at a distance R from the center of the dipole along the axial line. The distance from point P to the positive charge (+Q) is \( R - L \) and to the negative charge (-Q) is \( R + L \). ...
