A dipole is located at the origin and is composed of charged particles with charge , separated by a distance along the y axis. The charge is on the axis. Calculate the force on a proton at a location due to this dipole.
If we triple the distance d, by what factor is the force on the point charge due to the dipole in Figure 13.60 reduced? (Note that the factor is smaller than one if the force is reduced and larger than one if the force is increased.)

A dipole is located at the origin, and is composed of charged particles with charge +e and -e, separated by a distance 2x10-10 along the axis. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field due to this dipole at location . (b) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field due to this dipole at location .
Consider the situation in Figure 13.39. (a) If we double the distance d, by what factor is the force on the point charge due to the dipole reduced? (b) How would the magnitude of the force change if the point charge had a charge of +3Q? (c) If the charge of the point charge were -2Q, how would the force change?

A dipole consists of two charges and , held apart by a rod of length , as shown in Figure 13.71. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field due to the dipole at location A, from the center of the dipole? (b) What is the magnitude of the electric field due to the dipole at location B, from the center of the dipole?
