The distance between charges +q and -q is 2l and between +2q and -2q is 4l. The electrostatic potential at point P at a distance r from centre O is -αqlr2×109 V, where the value of α is ______. (Use 14πε0=9×109 N m2 C-2)

Question diagram: The distance between charges + q and - q is 2 l and between
Answer:
27.00
Solution:

Considering two dipoles with charges 2q & q, we can write the equivalent setup as shown below:

Therefore, net dipole moment is Pnet=6ql in the leftward direction.

Potential required, 

V=Kp·rr3=9×1096qlr2cos120o

=27qlr2×109

Therefore, α=27.
