NCERT Exercise 1.9 - Electric Charges and Fields

Question: A system has two charges qA = 2.5 × 10⁻⁷ C and qB = –2.5 × 10⁻⁷ C located at points A: (0, 0, –15 cm) and B: (0, 0, +15 cm), respectively. What are the total charge and electric dipole moment of the system?

Answer: Total charge of the system = **0 C** (neutral dipole). Electric dipole moment = **7.5 × 10⁻⁸ C·m**, directed from B (–q) to A (+q), i.e., in the **negative z-direction** (from z = +15 cm to z = –15...
