A small electric dipole is of dipole moment p.  The electric potential at a distance ‘r’  from its centre and making an angle θ from the axis of dipole will be:

a
kpsinθr2
b
kpcosθr2
c
kpr31+3cos2θ
d
kpr31+3sin2θ

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Potential at D VD=kqBD−kqADBD=r−acosθ,AD=r+acosθVD=kqr−acosθ−kqr+acosθ use (r>>acosθ,&P=q⋅2a)⇒VD=kq(2acosθ)r2=kpcosθr2
