Question

Xavier has been given the following diagram by his teacher, ms benedict. Ms benedict
wants him to find an expression for electric potential at point P when :
d<r (or d/r << 1., but not zero. Ms Benedict tells Xavier that the three circles in
the diagram on the y axis represent charges. She also tells him he may view the system
as a combination of a point charge and an electric dipole as a hint. Help Xavier solve
this problem, explain your steps.
