Quadrupole charge distribution. Consider the four-charge distribution in the xy- plane along the x-axis, the y-axis, and in the x = y direction for positive charges at a (1,1), a (-1,-1) and negative charges at a (11) and a (-1,1). Take the absolute value of the charges to be the same and equal to q. a) Recall in class we found that for the dipole charge distribution there are two axes of symmetry defined to be straight lines to which...
8) We can construct a quadrupole from two dipoles as shown in the picture below. What is the exact direction of the electric field on the positive x axis (far from quadrupole)? on the negative x-axis (far from quadrupole)? on the positive y-axis (far from quadrupole)?
Two point charges are located as shown below. One has charge +40 and located at (x, y)-(-a, 0). The other has charge-Q and located at (ta, 0). a) b) c) Find the potential Vat (x, y) (0, 0).

(a) Find the magnitude of the force on a point charge q at x = a in terms of q, , a, and L. (b) Show that for a >> L the answer in (a) reduces to c) What is the total charge on the rod? (d)...
Continuous charge distribution (finding V from the point-charge formula V = S kdq/r). A uniformly charged rod lies along the y-axis with its center at origin. It has a total charge Q and length L. (a) Find an expression for V(x) as a function of x. (b) Show that your answer in part (a) reduces to the expected form when x > L. (Hint: For part (b) you can use two extremely useful formulas, called Taylor series approximations. These tell...
1. A distribution of positive charge creates an E-field that fills the space around the distribution such that the the electric potential at x = 10 m has a bigger magnitude than at x = 20 m. Assume that the charge causing the field is all to the left of x = 0. Given this information, which of the following is not possible? (A). The E-field at x = 10 m is directed along the +x axis. (B). The E-field...
3, (10 Points) Show that the vector potential A for the quadrupole arrangement is cos e wtol Hint: last week we already calculated Griffiths Eq. 11.16 to second order for a dipole. Again, you can use problem 1 to simplify the 1/R terms. Again, you only need teo expand the numerator to first order . (5 Extra Credit Points) You now have A and V. Calculate E and B. 1.
