  In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence we calculate the induced stress
tensor of static dipoles (electric-electric and electric-magnetic) in a
strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ SYM gauge theory, by solving the linearized
Einstein equation with Maldecena string as a source. Analytic expressions are
given for the far-field and a near-field close to one charge, and compared to
what one has in weak coupling. The result can be compared to lattice results
for QCD-like theories in a deconfined but strongly coupled regime.
