Plotting electric field lines of a dipole
I worked a bit more on the problem but I couldn't find an equation myself nor could plot the ones you said or I found on wikipedia... I was told that if E(r, theta) is the first equation I wrote then E(r, theta, t) would be the same thing times sin(wt) but I don't get it, How does time affect...- silverfox

Plotting electric field lines of a dipole
I was given this equation as the lines of electric fields of a dipole(two opposite charges separated by a finite distance) e=(1/r^3)*((3cos^2(theta)-1)^2 +sin^2(2theta))^0.5 and I was asked to plot it. I guess it must be something like this: but when I try to plot it in wolframalpha.com in...- silverfox
