An electric dipole is placed as shown in the figure.

The electric potential (in 102 V) at point P due to the dipole is (ε0=permittivity of free space and 14πε0=K)

  1. 83qK
  2. 38qK
  3. 58qK
  4. 85qK

Solution

The net electric potential at P can be calculated as follows-

Vp=Kq5 cm-3 cm×1 m102 cm-Kq5 cm+3 cm×1 m102 cm=Kq×102×12-18=3Kq8×102 V
