Question

Which of these statements about a dipole
are correct?


1 A dipole consists of two particles whose
charges are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign

2 The net electric ?eld due to a dipole is
zero, since the contribution of the negative
charge cancels out the contribution of the
positive charge

3 At a distance d from a dipole, where d ? s
(where s is the separation of the charges),
the magnitude of the electric ?eld due to
the dipole is proportional to
1/d ^3

4 When placed in a constant electric ?eld,
a dipole does not interact at all, since the
force on the positive charge is in an opposite
direction to the force on the negative charge


Your answer should be a list of numbers
corresponding to the correct statements, with
the numbers separated by commas

Thanks in advance!!
