Given

  1. A
    The potential () at any axial point, at distance () from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector of magnitude , is . (Take )
  2. B
    , where is the distance of any axial point, situated at from the centre of the dipole.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Calculation for Assertion (A):The potential at an axial point of a dipole is given by:

For axial points, or , so .

So, Assertion (A) is true.Analysis of Reason (R):The formula for electric potential at an axial point is .The Reason states , which is incorrect (this looks like a confused version of the electric field formula ).Since the formula in the Reason is wrong, Reason (R) is false.
