An electric dipole is placed onx-axis in proximity to a line charge of linear charge density3.0×10-6 C m-1.Line charge is placed onz-axis and positive and negative charge of dipole is at a distance of10 mmand12 mmfrom the origin respectively. If total force of4 Nis exerted on the dipole, find out the amount of positive or negative charge of the dipole.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

r=10 mm, x=2,
Fq=2kλr·q
F-q=2kλr+x·q

Fnet=2kλq·xr(r+x)
4=2×9×109×3×10-6×q×2 mm10 mm.12 mm

q=4.44 μC
