A Dipole with a Positive Charge of 2

question 9

Multiple Choice

A dipole with a positive charge of 2.0 μC and a negative charge of -2.0 μC is centered at the origin and oriented along the x-axis with the positive charge located to the right of the origin. The charge separation is 0.0010 m. Find the electric field due to this dipole at the point x = 4.0 m, y = 0.0 m.
(k = 1/4πε₀ = 8.99 × 10⁹ N ∙ m²/C²)

• A) 0.56 N/C
• B) -0.56 N/C
• C) 0.28 N/C
• D) -0.28 N/C
