An Electric Dipole is a pair of equal and opposite Point Charges separated by a small distance.
Mathematical models
An Exact Model
Since an electric dipole is made up of 2 electric point charges, the electric field of the dipole can be calculated by summing the electric fields contributed by each point charge. In the example, the two field at point P,[math]\displaystyle{ E_P = E_P_q+ + E_P_q- }[/math]
