Electric field intensity due to point charge, Electric dipole, Electric dipole moment.

Hello science lovers!
In this article you will get the answers of the following questions:

  1. Expression for electric field intensity due to point charge.
  2. What is electric dipole?
  3. What is electric dipole moment?

So, let’s start!
Electric intensity due to a point charge: 
[What is point charge?]If the charge body is very small like a point then the charge of the body is called point charge.
Let a positive charge +q situated at a point A in a medium whose dielectric constant is K. Now, we will determine the electric intensity at a point p at a distance r from this charge

Electric intensity due to a point charge
Suppose a small charge +q0 is placed at point p.
Now, force acting charge q0 is
F=(1/4πε0k) (q q0 /r2) -(i)
Hence, electric intensity at point p is 
E=F/q0
Substituting F from equation (i) we get
E=(1/4πε0k) (q q0/r2q0) 
=> E=(1/4πε0k) (q/r2) 
=> E=(1/4πε0k) (q/r2) -(ii)
Now for air or vacuum k=1 so equation becomes
E=(1/4πε0) (q/r2)

Electric dipole:
[2.What is electric dipole?A pair of equal and opposite point charge separated by very small distance is called an electric dipole

what is electric dipole

Here two equal and opposite charge -q and +q are placed 2a distance appoint running as electric dipole.

Electric dipole moment:
[3.What is electric dipole moment] The product of any of the charge of a dipole and the distance the charge is called the electric dipole moment. Its unit is coulomb’s meter. If q is a charge of the dipole and 2a is the distance then the magnitude of the dipole moment is p=qX2a.
