) An electric dipole consists of 0.003 kg spheres charged to ∓3e-09 C at the ends of a 0.16 m long non-conducting rod of mass 0.006 kg (don't try to look up "electric dipole", it wont help you. For the sake of this problem, it is just a fancy word for what I just described). The dipole rotates on a frictionless pivot at its center. The dipole is held perpendicular to a uniform electric field with a field strength 1000 V/m, then released. i.What is the dipole's angular velocity (in rad/s) at the instant it is aligned with the electric field? (HINT: Look up the moment of inertia of the rotating rod about its center and don't forget the rotational kinetic energy term (along with the other terms) when you set up your conservation of energy problem). a)0.0534 b)0.446 c)0.289 d)0.119 e)0.137 f)0.205

(d) Four 1.9e-08 C charges are held in location to form a perfect square with sides of length 0.1 m. Two of the charges from opposing corners are released simultaneously, the other two are held in place. The mass of each charge is 0.003 kg..
