Derive an expression for the total charge on the conductor in terms of L and λₒ.

- We will continue the analysis of the electric dipole starting from part d of problem 1, but in the long-distance limit. It will be convenient to use the distance, r, from the origin, r = angle 0 between and the z axis: Vx2 + z2 and the z = r cos 0, x = r sin 0. The long-distance limit corresponds to r >> d. In the denominator of your result from problem 1 part d, you will have terms that look like Vx2 + (z ± d/2)². Rewrite those in terms of r and r cos e and factor out an r2 from each of the terms inside the radical. Then pull that r² out of the square root leaving an expression inside the quadratic that is amenable to a binomial approximation. However, we will only keep terms to first power in d/r so you will want to drop a term inside each square root before applying the binomial approximation. Apply the binomial approximation to the two terms you obtained from problem 1d and combine them.
