Question

The electrostatic potential due to an electric dipole at a distance ‘r’ varies as ______.

Options

• r

• `1/r^2`

• `1/r^3`

• `1/r`

Answer 1

The electrostatic potential due to an electric dipole at a distance ‘r’ varies as `\bb(\underline(1/r^2))`.

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential due to an electronic dipole at a distance r is given as `V_P ∝ 1/r^2`
