(III) Two positive charges +Q are affixed rigidly to the x axis, one at x = +d and the other at x = −d. A third charge +q of mass m, which is constrained to move only along the x axis, is displaced from the origin by a small distance s << d and then released from rest.

Two identical particles, each with charge q, are connected to the opposite ends of the spring. The particles are held stationary a distance d apart and then released at the same moment. The system then oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal table. The spring has a bit of internal kinetic friction, so the oscillation is damped. The particles eventually stop vibrating when the distance between them is 3d. Assume the system of the spring and two charged particles is isolated. Find the increase in internal energy that appears in the spring during the oscillations.arrow_forwardA “pure” dipole p is situated at the origin, pointing in the z-direction.
