1. Three point charges are held in place as shown in the figure. Find the net electrostatic force
experienced by the 1 nC charge.
2. What should be the mass of a 5 nC charge be so that it is balanced in the space between
two parallel plates carrying equal and opposite charges of σ = 8.1 x 10-4 C/m2
?
3. An electric dipole consisting of charges +2e and -2e are separated by a distance of 4nm.
a. What is the electric dipole moment?
b. What is the electric field at a point P located on the perpendicular bisector (shown
in the fig) and at a distance 3 cm from the axis of the dipole?
c. This dipole is placed in a uniform electric field E of magnitude 1000 N/ C and
making an angle of 30 degrees with the dipole moment. Calculate the torque
produced and the electrostatic potential energy of the dipole.
