Two identical dipoles, each of charge q and separation a, are a distance x apart, as shown in Fig. 20.31.(a) By considering forces between pairs of charges in the different dipoles, calculate the force between the dipoles and show that, in the limit a4?,where p=qa is the dipole moment.(b) Is the force attractive or repulsive?
