Question
A certain electric dipole consists of charges +q and –q
separated by distance d, oriented along the x-axis as shown
in the figure. Find an expression for the magnitude of the
electric field E of the dipole at a point far away in the
y-direction, a distance r away from the midpoint of the
dipole. Assume that r is much greater than d. Enter your
answer in terms of q, d, r, and €0.
E =
