Electric field due to an electric dipole of an equilateral triangle for class 12 by physics wallah |
| Answer» C charges q, q, and -2q are placed at the CORNERS of an equilateral triangle. What’s the magnitude of the electric dipole MOMENT of the system?Answer78FollowRequestMore5 ANSWERSRaushan Raj, Author at IITJEEPhysics4uAnswered Jun 16, 2018Every electric dipole is characterized by its dipole moment. Dipole moment is a vector QUANTITY which always points out from negative to positive point charge. And its magnitude is given by the product of amount of any one charge (out of the two forming dipole) and the separation between the two charges.The given system of point charges in the problem will obviously result into the formation of dipoles as their net summation is zero. The point charge -2q can be split into two charges each -q and thus we get two pairs of q and -q. The resultant dipole moment of the system can be calculated as FOLLOWS:Regards | |
