Potential Energy of dipole in external field
Question

A small electric dipole p=109 i^N/C is placed at the origin. A(1,0m) and B(0,1m) are two points. Then (VAVB) is 

Moderate
Solution

x-axis is the equatorial line of the dipole and potential of any point on the equatorial line is zero. 

Hence VB=0 and VA=14π0.pr2=9×109×109(1)2V=9 volt

  VAVB=9 volt.
