    Electric field of a dipole, two different equations?

    Electric field of a dipole, two different equations?? Hi, I've been taught in uni how to derive the electric field of a dipole to be E= k p [2cos theta r(hat) + sin theta theta(hat)]/(r^3) where k=1/(4pi e0), p=qd= dipole moment, (hat) terms are unit vectors and r is the distance...

    Deriving Electric Field of a Dipole in Cylindrical Polars: Can You Help?

    Hi, Iv'e been struggling on the same kind of question but think I can do it up to the stage you're asking about. It's useful to consider 2a as a vector going from the -ve dipole to the +ve one. Also take vector "r" to go from the half way point of "a" to the point of observation. You...
