Special case :

w

Case (i) If the point P lies on the axial line of the dipole on the side of +q, then θ = 0.
Then the electric potential becomes
w

Case (ii) If the point P lies on the axial line of the dipole on the side of –q, then θ =
180o. Then

Case (iii) If the point P lies on the equatorial line of the dipole, then θ = 90o. Hence

13.Van de Graaff Generator ;

. This Van de Graff generator works on the principle of electrostatic induction and
action at points

The high voltage produced in this Van de Graaff generator is used to accelerate
positive ions (protons and deuterons) for nuclear disintegrations and other

n
applications.
