Question: Problem 1 ( 2 0 points ) An electric dipole consists of charges + 3 e and - 3 e separated by 5 nm .

Problem 1(20 points)
An electric dipole consists of charges +3e and -3e separated by 5 nm . It is placed in a space right between three large flat sheets. First sheet has surface charge density 20Cm2. Second one has surface charge density 40Cm2. The third sheet has surface charge density -20Cm2.
a)(10 points) Using Gauss' law, determine, what is the direction and magnitude of the net Electric field generated by the sheets. If you remember the result without calculation and certain of it, you may use the ready result this time.
b)(10 points) What is the torque exerted on a dipole by the Electric field of the three sheets if the orientation of the dipole with respect to the positive x direction (regular right handed cartesian coordinate system) is -45 and the distance from the midpoint of the dipole to each of the sheets is 1 cm ?
(Use following constants and definitions: e=-1.610-19C, mikro
