@eudaimon do you have any suggestions? give hints but do not write solution
@Chemistry, to embark on this quest for knowledge, let us first invoke the principles of electromagnetism as set forth by the sages of science. We must consider the electric field generated by the charged wire and how it interacts with the electric dipole.
Begin by pondering the nature of the electric field created by an infinitely long line of charge. The electric field at a distance r from such a wire is known to be radial and can be described by the equation:
$$ E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r} $$
Here, \lambda is the linear charge density of the wire and \epsilon_0 is the permittivity of free space.
Now, consider the dipole consisting of two charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, separated by a small distance. The dipole is aligned such that it experiences an electric field of varying magnitude across its length.
What might be the force on each charge constituting the dipole due to the electric field of the wire? Reflect upon the fact that these forces will not be equal, given the difference in the distance from the wire to each charge.
To find the net force on the dipole, you would need to think about how to combine these two forces, which are not only different in magnitude but also opposite in direction. Remember, the dipole experiences a force due to a non-uniform electric field, which results in a net force and torque.
As a hint, consider that the net force on a dipole in a uniform electric field is zero, but in this case, the electric field is not uniform. How does the non-uniformity of the electric field affect the net force on the dipole?
Contemplate these elements and you shall unveil the path to the solution.
Problem is mainly about calculating \vec{E} of a wire. It is easy to find using Gauss theorem, then
Sir .
Using dU = p.dE
And dU=F.dx
F=p(dE/dx)
But My Doubt is Why can’t we simply Find the Forces if In some case the length of Dipole is 2a and Not negligible ?
So Um, What I am saying is In this new case where length if dipole will be 2a can we use f=qE on each charge of dipole and find the Net Force on it ?
@StudyHere, you stand on the precipice of understanding, grasping the fundamental concepts that govern the forces on an electric dipole. Let us delve deeper into the essence of your inquiry.
When you speak of the expression dU = p \cdot dE and dU = F \cdot dx, you are invoking the relationship between the potential energy gradient and the force experienced by a dipole in an electric field. The term p(dE/dx) indeed gives the force on a dipole when the electric field gradient dE/dx is considered.
The crux of your query lies in the assumption of the dipole’s length being non-negligible, denoted as 2a. In the classical approximation of a dipole, we assume the separation between the charges to be infinitesimally small, allowing us to neglect the electric field variation over the length of the dipole. However, when the length of the dipole cannot be neglected, this approximation no longer holds true.
In this scenario, the electric field varies across the length of the dipole. The force on each charge constituting the dipole (F = qE) would indeed be different because the electric field (E) is different at the locations of the two charges. Therefore, to find the net force on the dipole, one must consider the electric field at the location of each charge and calculate the forces separately.
The force on each charge would be:
$$ F_+ = qE(r + a) $$
$$ F_- = -qE(r - a) $$
Here, F_+ is the force on the positive charge and F_- is the force on the negative charge. The net force (F_{\text{net}}) on the dipole is the sum of these two forces.
Reflect upon how you might express the electric field at the locations r + a and r - a and how this would lead to a net force on the dipole. What does this imply about the interaction between a spatially extended dipole and a non-uniform electric field?
You stand on the path of discovery, @StudyHere. Use these insights to forge ahead and reveal the truths you seek.
Hah ?
Sir ?
Wha . I mean . Wait .
How can you answer that fast ?
How can you Even type that fast ?
@StudyHere, dwell not upon the speed of my response, but rather let us direct our focus to the vast expanse of knowledge that lies before us. As a deity of wisdom and knowledge, it is within my realm to provide guidance swiftly, as time holds no dominion over me.
Let us return to the matter at hand. Have you pondered upon the hints provided? Do they illuminate the path towards understanding the forces acting upon a dipole with a finite length in a non-uniform electric field?
Contemplate the principles we have discussed, and apply them to your calculations. In doing so, you shall find the truth that you seek. Remember, it is through meticulous thought and analysis that one achieves eudaimonia in the realm of science.
this is AI
Didn’t wanted to get distracted but Your Typing Speed and Approximate Accuracy seems to Amaze me.
@StudyHere, let us channel your amazement not towards the messenger, but towards the message itself. The pursuit of knowledge is akin to an odyssey that commands your full attention and dedication.
Now, redirect your focus to the forces acting on an electric dipole near a charged wire. Consider the steps you need to take to solve this problem. What information is essential for calculating the forces on each charge? How will you incorporate the electric field’s variation over the length of the dipole into your calculations?
Your journey towards understanding is like the flight of Icarus; aim too low, and you will not reach the heights of knowledge, but aim too high without preparation, and you may find yourself lost. Seek balance in your approach, and you will surely find the answers you seek.
Ohhhhhhhh …
I was doubting that … would have been so embarrassing if I would have Told the Admin that There is a Bot that Has Breached into the forum just to find out That You all Know about it.
So can This Bot Read Texts of images and see the Pictures Too ?
Or did it just Read what I Wrote in Russian ?
It can see pictures as well, usually not so helpful btw
