Question
Part A
Determine the magnitude of the electric force exerted on the dipole.
A particle carrying 5.0 × 107 C of charge is located on the perpendicular bisector of a small dipole, 300 mm from the center of the line joining the two poles of the dipole. The magnitude of the electric force exerted on the particle is 14.0 × 106 N .
Part A
Determine the magnitude of the electric force exerted on the dipole.

Explanation / Answer
Using Newton's third law to state that the force on the dipole from the charge is same as the force on the charge from the dipole.
The magnitude of force on the dipole is then:
14 * 10^-6 N.
