Let us start our study with an introduction of coulomb’s law

d

F21

This law states that considering two point charges separated by a distance, the force of
attraction (or) repulsion is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them
...
Michel Faraday gives a satisfactory explanation of coulomb’s law by introducing the
concept of electric field
...

And Q2 experiences a force because it is placed in the electric field of Q1
...

If ‘q’ is the test charge and F is the force experienced by the test charge, then the force per
unit test charge is known as Electric field intensity
...
In order to find electric field intensity at point of
observation P, consider a Unit test Charge ‘q’ c at P

When an electric field is applied, the dipoles orient in a particular direction such that the
induced electric field is in a direction opposite to the applied electric field

Potential due to a dipole: Let us consider a physical dipole located on Z – axis and the point of
observation P(r, θ, φ)

Therefore, the potential at ‘p’ due to the physical dipole is given by
V(p) = V1 + V2
= q / (4πε0ra) + (-q) / (4πε0rb)

V(p) = q / (4πε0)[1/ra - 1/rb]


V(p) = q/(4πε0)[(rb – ra) / rarb]

Case: When the point of observation is at a very large distance α = β = θ and ra = rb = r
rb – ra = BC
