On the axial line of an electric dipole, at a distance r from the centre (with r much larger than the charge separation), the potential falls off as p/r², unlike a single point charge's 1/r fall-off.

For a dipole of moment p=q(2a)p = q(2a), with charges +q+q and −q-q separated by 2a2a, the potential at an axial point at distance rr from the centre O is obtained by superposing the potentials of the two point charges: …
