Finding magnitude and direction of net force on a dipole.

[QUOTE="Cutter Ketch, post: 5679676, member: 515910"] The diagram might make you think the charge is spread out over the dipole, but when they say separated by 2a they are telling you to treat them as point charges. Treat the dipole as a rigid body in two dimensions. It has two forces acting on it. Draw a free body diagram, resolve the forces into their components, write the net force components and see if it approximates to something simpler as x becomes much larger than a. [/QUOTE]
