#3. I figure if I get caught up on section 2 then I can dive into three. xP
I already need help on HW #2. :oops:
I don't even know where to start on #8.
The momentum changed due to a force.
I'm assuming the force is due to the repulsion and the attractive forces on either side of the field.
But I don't know how to use MOMENTUM to get a force? :sweat:
The point way out there (Left or right of the axis of the dipole, whichever you chose) is going to experience the force of the E field.
So the force of the E field is going to be the sum of the field due to the positive charge and the field due to the negative charge.
What's gonna happen is we'll need to use Coulomb's Law to figure out the force at that point for both charges and then add them together. Since it's all on the axis of the Dipole you won't have to deal with Vector parts.

In my picture the positive 6nC charge is on the left and the - one on the right and I put the point I'm trying to find the E field charge out to the right.

Don't be random, you could get in trouble for that shit.
And sweet, lemme finish writing this thing up then I'll get back to the homework.
He wasn't completely happy with all parts of my lab last week so I had to rewrite. :lol:
ok lets see... so... No. :XD :rofl: Let me extrapolate
so you are going to use Coulomb's law except that because you are trying to find the force of the E field at a point in the field, you only need one source charge q in the equation. so it would be like this...
