Final answer:

The electric field strength of an electric dipole decreases with distance r as 1/r².

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric field strength of an electric dipole decreases with distance r as 1/r². The equation E = k |Q| /r² indicates that the strength of the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the charge that generates it. As we move further away from the charge, the electric field becomes weaker.
