    This document discusses the point dipole approximation in electrostatics. It explains that for a dipole where r (the distance from the dipole) is much greater than a (the size of the dipole), the electric field can be approximated as that of a point dipole. The electric field components of a point dipole are provided. The document also mentions shockwaves from a dipole, dipoles feeling electric fields, and a demonstration of a dipole in a field.
