Question

An electric dipole consists of a negative charge- located at (0,-) and a positive charge +q located at (0, +3). The dipole moment p is defined as a vector of magnitude qs directed from the negative charge of the dipole to the positive charge of the dipole. (a) Show that the net force exerted by the dipole on a charge +Q located on the r-axis at a distance r from the dipole is given by: s 2 -3/2 F- r (b) Using the binomial theorem, find a first-order approximation for the force found in the previous step in the case where the charge is at a distance that is very large when compared to the separation of the dipole, that is, s 《 r. (Hint: This does not mean making 8-0)
