What is the work done in moving a test charge q through a distance of 1 cm along the equatorial axis of an electric dipole ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of the work done in moving a test charge \( q \) through a distance of 1 cm along the equatorial axis of an electric dipole, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electric Dipole**: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges, +q and -q, separated by a distance \( 2d \). The equatorial axis is the line that is perpendicular to the dipole axis and passes through the midpoint of the dipole. 2. **Electric Potential on the Equatorial Axis**: ...
