Textbook QuestionPoint charges q1 = -4.5 nC and q2 = +4.5 nC are separated by 3.1 mm, forming an electric dipole. (b) The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle of 36.9° with the line connecting the charges. What is the magnitude of this field if the torque exerted on the dipole has magnitude 7.2 * 10^-9 N•m?978views2rank
Textbook QuestionAn electric dipole consists of two opposite charges ±q separated by a small distance s. The product p=qs is called the dipole moment. FIGURE P22.61 shows an electric dipole perpendicular to an electric field E. Find an expression in terms of p and E for the magnitude of the torque that the electric field exerts on the dipole.288views
Textbook QuestionThe permanent electric dipole moment of the water molecule (H₂O) is 6.2×10^−30 C m . What is the maximum possible torque on a water molecule in a 5.0×10^8 N/C electric field?302views
Textbook QuestionAn electric field can induce an electric dipole in a neutral atom or molecule by pushing the positive and negative charges in opposite directions. The dipole moment of an induced dipole is directly proportional to the electric field. That is, p⃗ =αE⃗ , where α is called the polarizability of the molecule. A bigger field stretches the molecule farther and causes a larger dipole moment. b. An ion with charge q is distance r from a molecule with polarizability α . Find an expression for the force Ē ion on dipole .210views
Textbook Question(II) The HCl molecule has a dipole moment of about 3.4 x 10⁻³⁰ C•m. The two atoms are separated by about 1.0 x 10⁻¹⁰.m(a) What is the net charge on each atom?(b) Is this equal to an integral multiple of e? If not, explain.(c) What maximum torque would this dipole experience in a 2.5 x 10⁴ N/C electric field?(d) How much energy would be needed to rotate one molecule 45° from its equilibrium position of lowest potential energy?73views
Textbook QuestionThe electric field strength 1.5 cm from an electric dipole, on the axis of the dipole, is 1.5×10^5 N/C. c. If the dipole is replaced by a single charge, what magnitude charge in nC will give the same field strength 1.5 cm away?515views
