6. +1 [C] and a -1 [C] point charges are located at P1(0,0,1E-6) and P2(0,0,-1E-6). a. Compute the force these two charges exert on a third +1 [C] charge placed at Q(1,0,0). b. Compute the force on the +1 [C] charge placed at Q(1,0,0) due to only P1. c. Explain why there is a large difference between your answers to 6(a) and 6(b). d. Briefly discuss how the difference discussed in 6(c) can be used to understand why the field observed outside a capacitor is quite small, even if the capacitor contains a significant amount of charge. 6. +1 [C] and a -1 [C] point charges are located at P1(0,0,1E-6) and P2(0,0,-1E-6). a.
