An infinite line of positive charge lies along the y axis, with charge density = 2.00 C/m. A dipole is placed with its center along the x axis at x = 25.0 cm. The dipole consists of two charges 10.0 C separated by 2.00 cm. The axis of the dipole makes an angle of 35.0 with the x axis, and the positive charge is farther from the line of charge than the negative charge. Find the net force exerted on the dipole.
If two equal charges each of 1 C each are separated in air by a distance of 1 km, what is the magnitude of the force acting between them? You will see that even at a distance as large as 1 km, the repulsive force is substantial because 1 C is a very significant amount of charge.
