Question
A small, rigid object carries positive and negative 5.00 nC charges. It is oriented so that the positive charge has coordinates (-1.20 mm, 1.00 mm) and the negative charge is at the
point (1.70 mm, -1.30 mm).
(a) Find the electric dipole moment of the object.
-14.5e-12
C. m î+ 11.5e-12
C.mĵ
(b) The object is placed in an electric field E = (7.80 x 10³ 14.90 x 10³ ĵ) N/C. Find the torque acting on the object.
N. mi
(c) Find the potential energy of the object-field system when the object is in this orientation.
J
(d) Assuming the orientation of the object can change, find the difference between the maximum and the minimum potential energies of the system.
