Two equal charges \(q\) of opposite sign separated by a distance \(2a\) constitute an electric dipole of dipole moment \(p\). If \(P\) is a point at a distance \(r\) from the centre of the dipole and the line joining the centre of the dipole to this point makes an angle \(\theta\) with the axis of the dipole, then the potential at \(P\) is given by:
\((r>>2a)\) , where \(p = 2qa\)
1. \(V={p\cos \theta \over 4 \pi \varepsilon_0r^2}\) 2. \(V={p\cos \theta \over 4 \pi \varepsilon_0r}\)
3. \(V={p\sin \theta \over 4 \pi \varepsilon_0r}\) 4. \(V={p\cos \theta \over 2 \pi \varepsilon_0r^2}\)
