We choose the center of the rod to be the origin of our coordinate system, with the x axis extending to the right, the y axis extending up, and the z axis out of the page. In order to calculate the electric eld at location A, which is at

A water molecule is a permanent dipole with a known dipole moment p = qs. There is a water molecule in the air a very short distance x from the midpoint of a long glass rod of length L carrying a uniformly distributed positive charge Q. The axis of the dipole is perpendicular to the rod. Note that s << x << L. You may neglect the small change in the dipole moment of the water molecule induced by the rod. Choose the answer that correctly expresses the magnitude and direction (along the xaxis) of the electric force on the water molecule. Your f inal result must be ex-

Consider a uniformly charged thin rod with total charge Q and length L. It is aligned along the y -axis and centered at the origin (see g 8-3hw). We wish to determine the eld at P due to the charges on the rod. Because the rod is centered at the origin, symmetry tells us the electric eld at P must point in the r direction. Based on the dierential form dEr = k (Qdy/L) sin , 2

determine the integrated expression for Er at P. {Hint: use the math identity dy/2 = d/r .
