Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance


   
 
Potential due to an Electric Dipole
Potential at a point due to a dipole along the axis
 
The potential at point P is the algebraic sum of the potentials due to -q and +q charges. Hence
 
 
 
Potential at point P due to the dipole along the equatorial line will be zero as P is equidistant from the two charges.
