Question

Two dipoles , made from charge ±q and ±Q respectively , have equal dipole moments . give the (i) ratio between the seperation of these two pairs of charges. (ii) angle between the dipole axis of these two dipoles

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) the ratio between the separation of these two pairs of charges is Q : q

(ii) The angle between the dipole axis of these two dipoles will be 0 degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Let the separation between both the charges are d and D respectively.

Given that they have the same dipole moment

dipole moment = charge x distance

=> qd = QD

=> d/D = Q/q

Hence the ratio between the separation of these two pairs of charges is Q : q

(ii) For equilibrium, the angle between the dipole axis of these two dipoles will be 0 degree.
