Answer:
p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m and ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J
Explanation:
The dipole moment of a dipole is the product of charges by distance
p = 2 a q
With 2a the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charges
p = 1.7 10⁻⁹ 6.8 10⁻⁶
p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m
The potential energie dipole is described by the expression
U = - p E cos θ
Where θ is the angle between the dipole and the electric field, the zero value of the potential energy is located for when the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field line
Orientation parallel to the field
θ = 0º
U = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ 1160 cos 0
U1 = 1.35 10⁻¹¹ J
Antiparallel orientation
θ = 180º
cos 180 = -1
U2 = -1.35 10⁻¹¹ J
The difference in energy between these two configurations is the subtraction of the energies
ΔU = | U1 -U2 |
ΔU = 1.35 10-11 - (-1.35 10-11)
ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.
We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)
I’m assuming we’re suppose to get some kind of graph but, Instantaneous speed is the speed that is happening right now. Like driving a car at 15k/h. The instantaneous speed of the car 15k/h. On the graph, at 5s. Wherever the line is, will tell you what the speed is.
