Two identical dipoles A and B are oriented on the x-axis as shown. Each dipole consists of two charges +q and-q (q> 0) whose center is a distance d from the origin, held apart by a rod of length d/100. Note that the size of the dipoles is greatly exaggerated in the diagram to make their orientation visible. +y dipole A d / 100 d of d dipole B d/ 100 +x A. [5 points] On the diagram above, sketch the electric field at the origin due to each dipole, as well as the net electric field at the origin. Label each clearly. For full credit, your vectors should have (roughly) correct relative sizes as well as orientations. B. [10 points] Find the electric field at the origin. Give your answer in the form of components or unit vectors. C. [10 points] Where would you place a -(4√5)q point charge to give zero net electric field at the origin? You may give the position either in component unit vector form or as a distance and angle. D. [10 points] Assuming you have correctly placed the point charge in part C, what force would a small test charge (say +q/1000) feel when placed at the origin?
