Find out the magnitude of electric field intencity at point (2,0,0), due to a dipole of dipole moment , Pvector = icap + 3 jcap kept at origin. also find out the potential at that point
Hi ! this question can be answered in a very intiuitive way...
Consider the dipole to be a superposition of 2 independent dipoles having p vectors as follows
p1 = i^ and p2 = 3j^
Observe that the point(2,0,0) lies on the x axis..thus for dipole 1 it is like an axial point and for dipole 2 it is like an equatorial point...now use the formulas ...
E1 = 2kp/r3 = 2x9x109/8 i^ = k/4 i^
E2 = -kp/r3 = -9x109/8 i^ = -k/8j^
Thus E = E1 + E2 = (k/4 i^ + -k/8j^ ) NC-1
Just check the calculations..rest all is fine I feel
Similarly for potential at the point you can use the formula V = k(p.r^)/r2
Thus V = k( (i^+3j^ ). i^)/ 4 = k/4 volt.
