Question

An uncharged solid metal sphere of radius R = 1.72 mm sits with its center at a distance of D = 63.1 cm from two point charges plusminus q = plusminus 4.9 Times 10^-8 C which form a dipole. The two point charges are separated by a distance d = 8.04 mum, as shown in the figure (not to scale!). Discuss the charge distribution in/on the sphere. Draw a sketch of the sphere, showing the charge distribution. Compute the approximate electric dipole moment induced in the sphere. Compute the force exerted on the sphere by the dipole.

Explanation / Answer

b)Electric dipole moment due to charges q and -q is qd

c)Net Force exerted on the sphere due to dipole is 0
