Calculate the electric field set up by these two charges, for points in the xz-plane (the field will look the same in any plane containing the z-axis, because of rota- tional symmetry). Work in Cartesian coordinates, with the z-axis passing through the two charges, and the origin halfway between them; thus let the z-coordinate of the positive charge be d/2 and the z-coordinate of the negative charge -d/2. Show that the field is (x,0, z – d/2) (x,0, z + d/2) E(x,0, 2) = 4T€, ((x² + (z – d/2)²)³/2 (x² + (z + d/2)²)³/2, 2.

Take care that your approximation is not too crude (a 0 answer won't do). To this purpose, bring the two terms of the solution on common…arrow_forward
