Question

An electric dipole consists of two equal but unlike charges separated by a distance. Two point charges, q1 = +4.5 x 10^-6 and q2 = -4.5 x 10^-6 C, are separated by 6.4 x 10^-2 m, forming an electric dipole. Find the electric field halfway between the dipole.

Step 1

The problem states that the electric field is to be found halfway between the dipole. Since the charges are separated by a distance of \(6.4 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m}\), the midpoint is at a distance of \(3.2 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m}\) from each charge. Show more…
