Question

define potential due to an electric dipole

Answer 1

Using infinity as the reference for zero potential, the electric potential of a single charge at a point “p” is given by V=kq/r where q is the charge, r is the distance from the charge to “p,” and k is the constant 9.0∗10^9F/m.

Because electric potential is a scalar, to find the potential at a point from a dipole system, simply add the values of the potential from each charge.

Vt=k q1/r1+k q2/r2
