Electric fields can be used in useful ways to maneuver and trap objects. Consider that there is a plate held at a high voltage V that produces an electric field E = 1/2. If a rod of material with thickness t and length L and permittivity & exists in the field with its center a distance d from the plate, where d > L, find the net force experienced by the rod. E

Question

Goal: The intent of this problem is to see a useful application of electrostatic forces and see that they can even be used to maneuver non-charged objects. This can be useful for separating objects based on their permittivity, even at small length scales such as cells and nanoparticles, where physically touching objects is impossible!

*Please explain carefully and show step by step solution with comments. I would appreciate it.
