An electric dipole at the origin consists of two charges q spaced apart along the y-axis.
a. Find an expression for the potential V(x, y) at an arbitrary point in the xy-plane. Your answer will be in terms of q, s, x, and y.
b. Use the binomial approximation to simplify your result from part a when s V x and s V y.
c. Assuming s V x and y, find expressions for Ex and Ey, the components of E u for a dipole.
d. What is the on-axis field E? Does your result agree with Equation 23.10?
