The electric potential due to an electric dipole depends on

  1. A distance from the dipole only
  2. B dipole moment of the dipole only
  3. C dipole moment and distance from the dipole only
  4. D dipole moment, distance from the dipole and the angle between the position vector and the dipole moment vector
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) dipole moment, distance from the dipole and the angle between the position vector and the dipole moment vector

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The electric potential \(V\) at a distance \(r\) from an electric dipole is given by the formula: \(V=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{p \cos \theta}{r^2}\) This shows that the potential depends on the dipole moment ( \(p\) ), the distance ( \(r\) ), and the angle ( \(\theta\) )…
