Calculating Electric Potential of Ammonia Molecule: Can You Help?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the electric potential generated by an ammonia molecule, which has a dipole moment of 1.47 D, at a distance of 52.0 nm from its center. The formula provided for the electric potential on the dipole axis is V = (1/(4 π ε)) * (2p/r²), where p is the dipole moment. The potential needs to be determined for an ion with a charge of 1.6 x 10^-19 C brought to this point. Participants are encouraged to provide explanations and assistance in solving the problem. The request emphasizes the need for clarity in the calculations involved.

Could anyone help me with the following problem?
Ammonia molecule has a dipole moment of 1.47D. Calculate the potential generated by this molecule at a point on a dipole axis at a distance of 52.0 nm from the centre of the dipole. how large will the potential be if an ion of charge q=1e=1.6*10^-19 C is brought at this point? it would be really helpful if you provide any required useful explanation...thank you...waiitng eagerly for ur response...

The electric potential at a distance 'r' on the axis of a short dipole is given by

V = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon} \frac{2 p}{r^2} where p is the dipole moment which according to the problem is given to be 1.47 D.
 

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
