    Electric Field of a Dipole

    • As the distance from the dipole increases, the electric field on the axial line of a dipole decreases.

    Electric Field Calculation

    • The formula to calculate the electric field due to a dipole on its axial line is: E = k * p / r^3, where E is the electric field, k is Coulomb's constant, p is the dipole moment, and r is the distance from the dipole.

    Electric Field at Large Distances

    • At a very large distance from the dipole, the electric field on the axial line of a dipole approaches zero.
