The electric potential due to an electric dipole depends on
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → dipole moment, distance from the dipole and the angle between the position vector and the dipole moment vector
Electric potential due to an electric dipole at a point is given by:
$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{\vec{p} \cdot \vec{r}}{r^3} = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{p \cos\theta}{r^2}$
Where:
- $p$ is the dipole moment
- $\theta$ is the angle between position vector and dipole moment vector
Thus, the electric potential depends on:
- Dipole moment
- Distance from the dipole
- Angle between the position vector and dipole moment
