a)

From the above figure,

Monopole moment

$Q=3q=2q$

Dipole moment

$$\begin{gathered} p=\left[3qaz+\left(-q\right)0\right] \\ p=3qaz \end{gathered}$$

Write the expression for total potential at a distanceincluding monopole term.

$$\begin{gathered} V\left(r\right)=V_{mQnQ}+Vdipole \\ =\frac{1}{4{\mathrm{Ï€Î\mu }}_0}\frac{Q}{r}+\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\frac{p\widehat{·}r}{r^2} \\ =\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\left[\frac{2q}{r}+\frac{3qa\cos \mathrm{θ}}{r^2}\right] \end{gathered}$$

Here, $p\widehat{·}r=3qa\cos \mathrm{θ}$

Therefore, the total potential at a distance r including monopole term is $\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\left[\frac{2q}{r}+\frac{3qa\cos \mathrm{θ}}{r^2}\right]$.

b)

From the above figure,

Monopole moment

$Q=2q$

Dipole moment

$$\begin{gathered} p=-qa\left(\widehat{-}z\right) \\ =qaz \end{gathered}$$

Write the expression for total potential at a distance r including monopole term.

$$\begin{gathered} V\left(r\right)=V_{mono}+Vdipole \\ =\frac{1}{4{\mathrm{Ï€Î\mu }}_0}\frac{Q}{r}+\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\frac{\mathrm{ÒÏ}\widehat{·}r}{r^2} \end{gathered}$$

Substitute $2q$for Q and $3qa\cos \mathrm{θ}$for $p\widehat{·}r$.

$V\left(r\right)=\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\left[\frac{2q}{r}+\frac{3qa\cos \mathrm{θ}}{r^2}\right]$

Therefore, the total potential at a distance $r$including monopole term is

$\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\left[\frac{2q}{r}+\frac{3qa\cos \mathrm{θ}}{r^2}\right]$.

c)

From the above figure,

Monopole moment

$Q=2q$

Dipole moment

$p=3qa\hat{y}$

Write the expression for total potential at a distance r including monopole term.

$\begin{array}{rcl}V\left(r\right)& =& V_{mono}+V_{dipole}\\ & =& \frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\frac{Q}{r}+\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\frac{p·\hat{r}}{r^2}\\ & =& \frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\left[\frac{2q}{r}+\frac{3qa\sin \mathrm{θ}\sin \mathrm{Ï•}}{r^2}\right]\\ & & \end{array}$

Therefore, the total potential at a distance r including monopole term is

$\frac{1}{4\mathrm{Ï€}{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}\left[\frac{2q}{r}+\frac{3qa\sin \mathrm{θ}\sin \mathrm{Ï•}}{r^2}\right]$

As,

$\hat{r}=\sin \mathrm{θ}\cos \mathrm{ϕ}\hat{x}+\sin \mathrm{θ}\sin \mathrm{ϕ}\hat{y}+\cos \mathrm{θ}\hat{z}$

Then,

$\hat{y}·\hat{r}=\sin \mathrm{θ}\sin \mathrm{ϕ}$.
