The dipole moment of the water molecule ({\rm H}_{2}{\rm O}) is 6.17 \times 10^{-30}\;{\rm C \cdot m}. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p_vec points in the positive x direction. A chlorine ion ({\rm Cl}^{-}), of charge -1.60 \times 10^{-19}\;{\rm C}, is located...
i gave it another shot .. and used
225000 = kQ/r^2 .. and found out r^2 .. and that worked
for the second one (part B) i did the same calc but from my calculations, i am not getting the right answer .. its close but not exact ...
for this part (b) i got 4.96 and the answer is 4.35 .. i...
0.0005 is from putting (1,2) in Pythagorean and then i get sqrt ((0.02)^2 + (0.01)^1)
and when i did sqr of that i get 0.005
and i was given charge 28.1nC ., i figured out the E field .. now the question is if the new E vector is 225,000 in the x direction ... how do i go back .. i can't...
can someone pls guide me through this, i have 2 hours to complete this assignment and this is one of the question i am stuck with ..
any help is appreciated
Thank you
right ok ..
so E = kq/r^3
= (9x10^9)(28.1x10^-9)/ (25)
r= sqrt(5) ... r^3 = .0224
11290.178 N/C
now .. if i take x-y-component i get ..
theta = 60 deg
y = 9777.58
x = 5645.1 ..
does that seem right?
