$a=$ distance between center of both spheres By principle of superposition the net electric field at point $\mathrm{P}$

$\overrightarrow {\rm{E}}  = \frac{{\overrightarrow {\rho {\rm{r}}} }}{{3{{\rm{e}}_0}}} - \frac{{{{\overrightarrow {\rho {\rm{r}}} }^\prime }}}{{3{{\rm{e}}_0}}}$

$\therefore \quad \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}^{\prime}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}$

$\therefore \overrightarrow {\rm{E}}  = \frac{{\rho \overrightarrow {\rm{a}} }}{{3{ \in _0}}} = $ uniform

    An electric dipole is formed by two charges $+q$ and $-q$ located in xy-plane at $(0,2) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(0,-2) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively, as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $\mathrm{P}(100,100) \mathrm{mm}$ due to the dipole is $V_0$. The charges $+q$ and $-q$ are then moved to the points $(-1,2) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(1,-2) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. What is the value of electric potential at $P$ due to the new dipole?
