.

l. -q -q q=25nC, L-5cm. Calcule: a. La fuerza en la carga de la esquina inferior izquierda, b. El campo eléctrico en el punto medio del segmento superior horizontal, c. La energía potencial de la carga de la esquina inferior izquierda, d. La energía electrostática del cuadrupolo.

Explanation / Answer

A) The force in the load of lower left corner

= kq*-q/L^2 cos 45 degree + k*-q*-q/(2 L^2)

= 9e9*-25e-9^2 /0.05^2 cos 45 degree + 9e9*25e-9^2/(2*0.05^2)

= - 0.000466 N

Hence force is 0.000466 N answer

B) Electric field E = 2* kq/(L/2)^2 -2kq/(L^2 +0.25L^2) *0.5/sqrt(1.25)

= 2*9e9*25e-9/0.025^2 - 2*9e9*25e-9/(0.05^2 + 0.025^2)*0.5/sqrt(1.25)

= 655601 N/C answer

C) PE of lower left = - 2 kq^2 /L + kq^2 /(L sqrt 2)

= - 2*9e9*25e-9^2 /0.05 + 9e9*25e-9^2 /(1.41*0.05)

= - 0.000145 J

D) Energy of the system = summation kq1q2/r

= - 4*9e9*25e-9^2 /0.05 + 2*9e9*25e-9^2 /(1.41*0.05)

= - 0.000290 J
