(A) The electric potential $V$ at a point due to an electric dipole is given by the formula $V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{p \cos	heta}{r^2}$,where $p$ is the dipole moment,$r$ is the distance from the center of the dipole,and $	heta$ is the angle between the dipole moment vector and the position vector of the point.For any point on the equatorial plane of the dipole,the angle $	heta = 90^\circ$.Since $\cos(90^\circ) = 0$,the electric potential $V$ at any point on the equatorial plane is $V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{p \cdot 0}{r^2} = 0$.
