Show mathematically that the potential at a point on the equatorial line of an electric dipole is zero. |
|
Answer» <P> Solution :Consider a point P situated on the equatorial line of the electric dipole at a distance r from mid-point of dipole.Now electric potential at P is GIVEN by `V = V_A + V_B = (-Q)/ (4 pi epsi_0 sqrt(r^2 + a^2)) + q/(4PI epsi_0 sqrt(r^2 + a^2)) = 0` . hus, potential at any point on equatorial line of an electric -9. dipole is ZERO irrespective of the position of that point. |
