An electric charge q 1 = 3.0 nC is at position (1.0,0.0,0.0)x10 -6 m and another charge q 2 = -3.0nC is at position (-1.0, 0.0, 0.0)x10 -6 m. [The parentheses indicate x, y, and z components] a) Consider the q1+q2 system as an electric dipole. What is the dipole moment? b) At the point of observation (0.0, 3.0, 0.0) x10 -3 m, what is the (total) electric field created by q1 and q2? c) A third charge q 3 = 2 nC is now placed at position (0.0, 3.0, 0.0) x10 -3 m. What is the total force on q 3 due to (both) 1 and 2? d) Charge q3 is moved to a new position on the +x axis, the same distance from the origin as before. What is the electric force on charge 3 due to q1+q2? Give your answer as a vector, evaluated numerically.
