Two balls, made of different materials, are rubbed against each other, resulting in 0.30 nC of charge moving from one ball to the other. The balls are then held 0.90 m apart. What is the magnitude of the dipole moment of the two balls?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]5.4\times 10^{-10}C-m[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge=[tex]q=0.30 nC=0.3\times 10^{-9} C[/tex]

[tex]1 nC=10^{-9}C[/tex]

Distance between two balls=l=0.90 m

We have to find the magnitude of dipole moment of the two balls.

We know that

Dipole moment=[tex]\mid p\mid=2lq[/tex]

Where q= Charge

l=Distance between two bodies

Using the formula

Magnitude of dipole moment=[tex]\mid P\mid=2\times 0.3\times 10^{-9}\times 0.9=5.4\times 10^{-10}C-m[/tex]

Hence, the magnitude of the dipole moment of the two balls=[tex]5.4\times 10^{-10}C-m[/tex]
