A system has two charges qA=2.5×10-7C and qB=-2.5×10-7C located at points A:(0, 0,-15 cm) and B: (0, 0, +15 cm), respectively. What is the magnitude and direction of electric dipole moment of the system?
MEDIUM
Charges -q and +q, located at A and B, respectively, constitute an electric dipole. Distance AB=2aO is the mid point of the dipole and OP is perpendicular to AB. A charge Q is placed at P where OP=y and y2a. The charge Q experiences an electrostatic force F. If Q is now moved along the equatorial line to P' such that OP'=y3 the force on Q will be close toy32a
