Let $V'$ be the volume of dipole distribution and $S'$ be the boundary.



The potential of a dipole distribution at a point $P$ is:



$$psi=-k int_V'
dfracvecnabla'.vecM'rdV'
+k oint_S'dfracvecM'.hatnrdS'$$



If $Pin V'$ and $Pin S'$, the integrand is discontinuous (infinite) at the point $r=0$. If we use spherical and polar coordinates, the integrand is continuous everywhere:



beginalign
psi &=bbox[orange,5px]-k int_V' dfracvecnabla'.vecM'r r^2 sin theta dtheta dphi dr\
&bbox[pink,5px]+koint_S'_1 dfracvecM'.hatnr sqrtf_x^2+f_y^2+1 R dR dtheta'
bbox[yellow,5px]+ k oint_S'_2dfracvecM'.hatnrdS'\
&=bbox[orange,5px]-k int_V' vecnabla'.vecM' r sin theta dtheta dphi dr\
&bbox[pink,5px] + k oint_S'_1 vecM'.hatn sqrtf_x^2+f_y^2+1 dfracRsqrtR^2+f^2 dR dtheta'
bbox[yellow,5px] + k oint_S'_2dfracvecM'.hatnrdS'
endalign



enter image description here



The field of a dipole distribution at a point $P$ is:



$$nablapsi=-k int_V'
(vecnabla'.vecM') nabla left( dfrac1r right) dV'
+k oint_S' (vecM'.hatn) nabla left( dfrac1r right) dS'$$



If $Pin V'$ and $Pin S'$, the integrand is discontinuous (infinite) at the point $r=0$. If we use spherical and polar coordinates:



beginalign
nablapsi&=bbox[orange,5px]-k int_V'
(vecnabla'.vecM') left( dfrachatrr^2 right) r^2 sin theta dtheta dphi dr\
&bbox[pink,5px]+ k oint_S'_1 (vecM'.hatn) left( dfrachatrr right) sqrtf_x^2+f_y^2+1 dfracRsqrtR^2+f^2 dR dtheta'
bbox[yellow,5px] + k oint_S'_2dfracvecM'.hatnrdS'
endalign



The first term has the integrand continuous everywhere. The second term has the integrand discontinuous (infinite) at the point $r=0$.




Question:



Is it necessary to remove a small circle around $R=0$ in order to remove the singularity in the second term so that we can compute the integral? Then how shall we show that the second term of $nabla psi$ is convergent after removing a small circle around $R=0$ and then taking the limit as the radius of the small circle tends to zero?
