To determine the point at which the electric potential is zero in an electric dipole, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electric Dipole**: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges, +Q and -Q, separated by a small distance, denoted as '2L'. 2. **Define the Electric Potential**: The electric potential (V) due to a point charge is given by the formula: \[ ...
