Potential Due to Electric Dipole

Potential Due to Electric Dipole

### Formula

$$V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{p\cos\theta}{r^2}$$

### Terminologies

- p → Dipole moment.

- θ → Angle between dipole axis and position vector.

### Conditions / Special Cases

On axial line:

$$\theta=0^\circ$$

On equatorial line:

$$\theta=90^\circ$$

$$V=0$$

### Usage

- Used in dipole potential problems.
