A system has two charges q_A =2.5 xx 10 ^(-7)C and q_B =-2.5 xx 10 ^(-7)Clocated at points A : (0,0,-15 cm) and B: (0,0+15 cm),respectively. What are the total charges and electric dipole moment of the system ? |

Answer» SOLUTION :Here ` q_A =2.5 xx 10 ^(-7)C, q_B =-2.5 xx10 ^(-7)C ` and distance between them `2a=15-(-15) =30 cm =0.3 m ` ` therefore ` Total charges of the system `=q_A +q_B =2.5 xx 10^(-7) +(-2.5xx 10^(-7) ) =0 .` Electric dipole moment of the system `p=q.2a= 2.5 xx 10 ^(-7) xx0.3 =7.5 xx10 ^(-8) C-m ` The dipolemoment is directed from charges `q_B `towards charge `q_A ` i.e. ALONG -z-axis.. |
