Two Ways to Calculate the Change in Potential Near a Dipole

Dot Physics via YouTube

Overview

Explore two distinct methods for calculating the change in electric potential near a dipole in this 27-minute physics tutorial by Dot Physics. Learn how to determine the potential change from a point on the x-axis to a point on the y-axis using both analytical and numerical approaches. First, utilize the expression for the electric field due to a dipole to calculate the potential with respect to infinity. Then, employ a numerical method using Python to compute the potential change along a straight-line path between the two points. Access the provided Python code to visualize and understand the numerical calculation process, enhancing your comprehension of electrostatic concepts and computational physics techniques.
