An electric dipole is as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $P$ due to the dipole is $[\epsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space}]$.

The electrostatic potential due to an electric dipole at a distance '$r$' varies as:

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 $(r \gg 2a)$ (where $p = 2qa$).
