A system has two charges `q_A = 2.5 xx 10^(-7)` C and `q_(B) = - 2.5 xx 10^(-7)` C located at points A:(0, 0, -15 cm) and B : (0, 0, + 15 cm), respectively. What are the total charge and electric dipole moment of the system ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total charge`=2.5xx10^(-7)-2.5xx10^(-7)=0`
Electric diople moment,
p=Mangitude of either charge `xx` separation between charges
`=2.5xx10^(-7)[0.15+0.15]C m=7.5xx10^(-8) Cm`. The direction of dipole moment is front B to A.
