Question: Consider a constant electric dipole moment (mathbf{p}) at the origin. It produces an electric potential of (phi=frac{boldsymbol{p} cdot mathbf{r}}{4 pi epsilon_{0} r^{3}}) outside the dipole.

Consider a constant electric dipole moment \(\mathbf{p}\) at the origin. It produces an electric potential of \(\phi=\frac{\boldsymbol{p} \cdot \mathbf{r}}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} r^{3}}\) outside the dipole. Noting that \(\mathbf{E}=-abla \phi\), find the electric field at \(\mathbf{r}\).
