From which law and principle can the electric field of an electric dipole be obtained?

Two opposite charges each of magnitude $500 \mu C$ are $10 \ cm$ apart. Find the electric field intensity at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from the midpoint on the axial line of the dipole.

Three point charges $q, -2q$ and $q$ are placed along the $x$-axis at $x = -a, 0$ and $a$ respectively. As $a \rightarrow 0$ and $q \rightarrow \infty$ while $qa^2 = Q$ remains finite, the electric field at a point $P$, at a distance $x$ $(x \gg a)$ from $x = 0$ is $E = \frac{\alpha Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 x^\beta} \hat{i}$. Then:
