A proton accelerates along the line joining the two charges of a dipole, away from the dipole. The dipole is made up of two charges, both 60 nC in magnitude, separated by 0.5mm. What is the proton’s speed when it is 1cm away?

(a) If a proton is moving faster in a uniform electric field along x direction as shown in Fig. 5, specify the direction of electric field and force. (b) Define electric dipole and electric dipole moment. What would be direction of electric dipole moment? (c) The magnitude of the dipole moment is 1.75 C.m for an electric dipole consisting of one positive and one negative elementary charge. Calculate the separating distance between two charges and convert it into nm.

A proton and an alpha particle are momentarily at rest at a distance r from each other. They then begin to move apart. Find the speed of the proton by the time the distance between the proton and the alpha particle doubles. Both particles are positively charged. The charge and the mass of the proton are, respectively, e and m. The charge and the mass of the alpha particle are, respectively, 2e and 4m. Find the speed of the proton (vf)p by the time the distance between the particles doubles. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the quantities e, m, r, and ε0.
