First:
A rigid electric dipole is free to move in the electric field in the pic...

Which one of the following phrases most accurately describes the initial motion of the dipole if it is released from rest in the position shown?
The Answer is: "It moves to the left"
Why does it move to the left?
Second:
A metal sphere is radius 8 cm is charged to a potential of -500V. With what velocity must an electron be fired toward the sphere if it is to just barely reach the sphere when started from a position of 15 cm from the center of the sphere?
Help would be greatly appreciated. These were test questions, and I got them wrong.
