What is the difference between electric potential due to isolated point charge and that due to electric dipole.

Dear student,
potential due to point charge-

A._______r_________.P

Let us take a point charge Q at point A and take a point P such that AP = r.
When the test charge is moved from infinity to the point P, then the change in the electric potential energy of the system:
UP-U=Qq4π0rTherefore, the potential at point P,VP=UP-Uq=Q4π0r
Potential due to dipole-
