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

Can someone help me?!!!!!
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

7 units, north

Explanation:

This is a problem of vector subtraction. We have:

- Vector A: magnitude 2 units, direction to the north

- Vector B: magnitude 5 units, direction to the south

If we take the north as positive direction, we can write

A = +2\\B=-5

Since we want to find A-B (vector subtraction), we have to change the sign of B, so we find:

A-B=+2-(-5))=+2+5=+7

And the positive sign means the direction is north.
