Given q1 = 2 x 10^-6 C, q2 = 3 x 10^-6 C, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m. Using F = k q1 q2 / r^2 = (9 x 10^9)(2 x 10^-6)(3 x 10^-6)/(0.3)^2 = (9 x 10^9 x 6 x 10^-12)/0.09 = 0.054/0.09 = 0.6 N. The force is repulsive since both charges are positive.
F = k q1 q2 / r^2
Marking-scheme points
- ✓Convert r = 30 cm = 0.3 m
- ✓F = (9e9 x 2e-6 x 3e-6)/(0.3)^2
- ✓F = 0.6 N (repulsive)

Given Q = 5 x 10^-6 C, r = 0.3 m. The field due to a point charge is E = kQ/r^2 = (9 x 10^9)(5 x 10^-6)/(0.3)^2 = (45000)/0.09 = 5 x 10^5 N/C. The field is directed radially outward since the charge is positive.
E = kQ/r^2
Marking-scheme points
- ✓E = kQ/r^2
- ✓= (9e9 x 5e-6)/(0.3)^2 = 45000/0.09
- ✓E = 5 x 10^5 N/C, directed radially outward

Electric Charges and Fields
Define electric dipole moment. Derive the expression for the electric field at a point on the axial line of a short dipole.
Reveal model answer + marking pointsHide answer▾
An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite charges (+q and -q) separated by a small distance 2a. The dipole moment p = q x 2a, directed from the negative to the positive charge. On the axial line at distance r from the centre, the field due to +q is k q/(r-a)^2 (away) and due to -q is k q/(r+a)^2 (towards). Net E = kq[1/(r-a)^2 - 1/(r+a)^2] = kq[(4ar)/((r^2-a^2)^2)]. For a short dipole (r much greater than a), E = k(2p)/r^3, directed along the dipole moment.
E(axial) = 2kp/r^3
Marking-scheme points
- ✓Dipole moment p = q x 2a (from -q to +q)
- ✓Axial field = kq[1/(r-a)^2 - 1/(r+a)^2]
- ✓For short dipole: E(axial) = 2kp/r^3
