An electric dipole AB consists of charge `+-5` separated by a distance of `2xx10^-3m` The dipole is placed near a long line charge having linear charge density `4.5 xx 10^-4C m^-1`, such that the negative charge is at a distance OA = 2.5 cm from the line charge. Find the force acting on the dipole.
