Two equal charges q of opposite sign separated by a distance 2a constitute an electric dipole of dipole moment p. If P is a point at a distance r from the centre of the dipole and the line joining the centre of the dipole to this point makes an angle θ with the axis of the dipole, then the potential at P is given by (r >> 2a) (Where p = 2qa

(1) V=pcosθ4πε0r2

(2) V=pcosθ4πε0r

A charge \(+q\) is fixed at each of the points x=x0, x=3x0, x=5x0 ..... infinite, on the \(x\)-axis, and a charge \(-q\) is fixed at each of the points x=2x0, x=4x0,x=6x0,..... infinite. Here \(x_0\) is a positive constant. Take the electric potential at a point due to a charge \(Q\) at a distance \(r\) from it to be \(\frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 r}\). Then, the potential at the origin due to the above system of charges is:
1. \(0\)
2. \(\frac{q}{8 \pi \varepsilon_{0} x_{0} \mathrm{ln} 2}\)
3. \(\infty\)
4. \(\frac{q \mathrm{ln} 2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} x_{0}}\)
