AI Generated Solution

To draw the electric lines of force due to an electric dipole, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of an Electric Dipole An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges, +q and -q, separated by a small distance d. The dipole moment (p) is given by the product of the charge and the distance between the charges: \[ p = q \cdot d \] ### Step 2: Draw the Charges Begin by sketching two points representing the charges. Place the positive charge (+q) on the left and the negative charge (-q) on the right. Label the distance between them as d. ...
