(or at infinity) • The direction of the electric field at any location is tangential to the field line there. • The magnitude of the electric field at any location is proportional to the density of the lines there. # lines/area ~ 1/r2 ~ |E| Lecture 2-7 Electric field lines of two charges of equal magnitude dipole Far from the charges, electric field lines resemble those of a point charge. Field lines do NOT cross They do NOT come out of nowhere or vanish into a point.

Lecture 2-14 Electric Dipoles • Typical dipole consists of positive and negative charges slightly displaced. • General definition of dipole moments exists: p ( r )rd 3r • Water molecule can be thought of as consisting of 2 standard dipoles at an angle to each other. Net neutral molecules can have electrical dipole moments Permanent dipole moment (polar) vs. induced dipole moment Lecture 2-15 Dipole in uniform electric fields • No net force. The electrostatic forces on the constituent point charges are of the same magnitude but along opposite directions. So, there is no net force on the dipole and thus its center of mass should not accelerate. Clockwise about the center of mass • Net torque! There is clearly a net torque acting on the dipole with respect to its center of mass, since the forces are not aligned. http://qbx6.ltu.edu/s_schneider/physlets/main/dipole_torque.shtml Lecture 2-16 Torque on the Dipole F The magnitude of the torque: Fx sin F (d x) sin Fd sin qEd sin pE sin x CM F The torque points into the screen. p E rF Lecture 2-17 Physics 241 – Sample Quiz A – January 9, 2008 Four point charges are arranged at the corners of a square as shown.
