Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

Two dipoles are oriented as shown in the diagram below. Each dipole consists of two charges +q and -q, held apart by a rod of length s, and the center of each dipole is a distance d from location A. If q = 2 nC, s = 1 mm, and d = 8 cm, what is the
electric field at location A?
Hint: draw a diagram and show the direction of each dipole's contribution to the electric field on the diagram (you do not have to turn in the diagram).

A common demonstration involves charging a rubber balloon, which is an insulator, by rubbing it on your hair and then touching the balloon to a ceiling or wall, which is also an insulator. Because of the electrical attraction between the charged balloon and the neutral wall, the balloon sticks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, flat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral. If these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded with one oxygen atom. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is 104( (see below). Calculate the net dipole moment of a water molecule that is placed in a uniform, horizontal electric field of magnitude 2.3108N/C . (You are missing some information for solving this problem; you will need to determine what information you need, and look it up.)

How does the polar character of water molecules help to explain waters relatively large dielectric constant? (Figure 19.19) Figure 19,19 Artist's conception of a water molecule. There is an inherent separation of charge, and so water is a polar molecule. Electrons in the molecule are attracted to the oxygen nucleus and leave an excess of positive charge near the two hydrogen nuclai. (Note that the schematic on the right is a rough illustration of the distribution of electrons in the water molecule. It does not show the actual numbers of protons and elections involved in the structure.)
Three charged particles are arranged on corners of a square as shown in Figure OQ19.14, with charge Q on both the particle at the upper left corner and the particle at the lower right corner and with charge +2Q on the particle at the lower left corner.

(c) It is straight downward. (d) It is downward and to the left. (e) It is perpendicular to the plane of the picture and outward. (ii) Suppose the +2 Q charge at the lower left corner is removed. Then does the magnitude of the field at the upper right corner (a) become larger, (b) become smaller, (c) stay the same, or (d) change unpredictably? Figure OQ19.14
Your friend gets really excited by the idea of making a lightning rod or maybe just a sparking toy by connecting two spheres as shown in Figure 7.39, and making R2so small that the electric field is greater than the dielectric strength of air, just from the usual 150 V/m electric field near the surface of the Earth. If R1is 10 cm. how small does R2to be, and does this seem practical? (Hint: recall the calculation for electric field at the surface of a conductor from Gauss's Law.)
