1.	A dipole of electric moment p is located at a distance r from a long thread charged with a linear density `lambda` . Find the force on the dipole if (a) if is placed parallel to the thread , (b) perpendicular to the thread . [Hint : Field due to long thread = `(1)/(2 pi epsi_(0)) (lambda)/(r)`]
Answer» Correct Answer - (a) F = 0 , (b) `F = -(lambda p)/(2 pi epsi_(0)r^(2))`

Two identical dipoles have their axes at right angles to each other and also bisecting each other . Calculate the field at a distance r from the point of intersection of their axes in a direction `theta` with the axis of one of the dipoles . The dipole moment of each dipole is equal to p .
ABC is a very small equilateral triangles of side `0.5 xx 10^(-3)` m . A charge of `+20` aC (attocoulomb) is placed at the corner A and two charges , each of `-10`aC , at B and C . Calculate the potential at a point on the prolongation of AC 2 cm away from A . [Hint: 1 aC (attocoulomb = `10^(-18)` coulomb]
