Question
PLEASE SHOW WORK
Two point charges of + and - 10 nC are
separated by 8 cm along the horizontal
axis. The negative charge lies to the left, the
positive charge to the right.
A) Compute the magnitude and direction of
the electric field E at a point exactly 4 cm
above the midpoint of a line between the
charges (4 cm along a vertical axis).
B) Now move to a point 4 METERS directly
above the line of charges and again
calculate the magnitude and direction of
the E field. (Hint: use a dipole
approximation for ease of calculation. See
notes.)
