E Field on Axis of Dipole:
Determine the total E field at a point along the axis (the line through the charges) that is a distance x away from the midpoint of the dipole. The charges are +4 nC and -4 nC and are separated by a distance of 14 mm. You should understand your solution well enough to be able to determine the numerical value of the field for any value of x. The thoughtful student will explore whether their solution can be simplified when x >> 14 mm.
E Field at Midpoint of Side of Square Quadrupole:
Two charges (q) on opposite corners are positive and 2 are negative. All have a magnitude of 100 nC. The sides of the square are of length L. Determine the magnitude and direction of the total E field in the center of each side between the charges. You should understand your solution well enough to be able to determine the numerical value of the field for any value of L and q.
