SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating a textbook figure that illustrates the electric quadrupole field lines created by four charges arranged in a square configuration, specifically with two negative and two positive charges positioned diagonally. Participants recommend consulting textbooks on mass spectrometry, as these typically contain relevant illustrations of quadrupolar fields in their introductory chapters. The inquiry highlights the need for accessible resources for individuals outside the fields of electrical engineering or physics, such as microfluidics experts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric field concepts
  • Familiarity with quadrupole configurations
  • Basic knowledge of mass spectrometry principles
  • Ability to interpret scientific illustrations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research textbooks on mass spectrometry for quadrupole field illustrations
  • Study the principles of electric quadrupoles in physics literature
  • Explore resources on electric field visualization techniques
  • Investigate the role of quadrupoles in microfluidics applications
USEFUL FOR

Microfluidics experts, physics students, and anyone interested in understanding electric quadrupole fields and their applications in mass spectrometry.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a figure from a textbook which showing the field lines of a quadrupole. The quadrupole I'm looking for is four charges arranged on the corners of a square, 2 diagonal -ve charges and 2 diagonal positives. Please let me know if you have seen such a fieldlines in any textbook.

The figure I'm looking for is exactly as the attachment, but I need to find such a figure in a textbook.

Thanks

Look in a textbook on mass spectrometry ... the quadrupolar field is very important there, and pretty much any text will have an illustration in the introductory chapters.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not an electrical engineer or physicist, am a microfluidics expert, thus I'm not familiar with these topic, do you recommend a specific book?
