Because an electric dipole consists of two opposite charges, the electric field decreases more rapidly compared to the 1/r^2 character of a single charge. In fact, for the electric dipole the field decreases as 1/r^3 with distance.

Answer:
The electric field varies inversely as the square of the distance from the point charge.
1/r³ and 1/r².
Explanation:
- The formula clearly shows the relationship between electric potential (V) and distance (r). As a result, the electric dipole varies inversely to the square of the distance.
- The electric field varies inversely as the square of the distance from the point charge.
- A dipole is formed by two equal and opposite charges separated by some distance. Far away, the electric field strength of a dipole is always proportional to the dipole moment and inversely proportional to the cube of the distance.
- The electric field and electric potential at a general point r away from the dipole's Centre are
- 1/r³ and 1/r².
