    This is (P point) a equatorial position of the dipole. The electric field due to this system of dipole at point P is calculated as follows:

    Electric field at point P due to +ve charge:
    E+ = K*q/r^2 (along ...

    Solution Summary

    Solution proceeds with the computation of electric fields at point P due to positive and negative charges.
