The equations below are approximations of the magnitude of the electric field of an electric dipole, at points along the dipole axis. Consider a point Pon that axis at distance z = 30.00 d from the dipole center (d' is the separation distance between the particles of the dipole). Let Eappr be the magnitude of the field at point P as approximated by the equations below. Let Eact be the actual magnitude.

A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded with one oxygen atom. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is 104( (see below). Calculate the net dipole moment of a water molecule that is placed in a uniform, horizontal electric field of magnitude 2.3108N/C .

The electric field at a point on the perpendicular bisector of a charged rod was calculated as the first example of a continuous charge distribution, resulting in Equation 24.15:E=kQy12+y2j a. Find an expression for the electric field when the rod is infinitely long. b. An infinitely long rod with uniform linear charge density also contains an infinite amount of charge. Explain why this still produces an electric field near the rod that is finite.
