(b)√2qr/∩
(c)qr/∩
(d)2qr/∩

Here also net charge is zero... so considering about -q...

U can do this now... give a try...

The ans : - is 2qr/∩

virang1 Jhaveri ·

Solution

Charge density on the Arc = Q/ Arc length

Arc LEngth = r*∩/2
C.D =2q/r*∩

Now
P =0∫r(2q/r*∩)*rdx
P = 2q/∩0∫rdx
p = 2qr/∩

P = ql
where p is dipole moment
q is the charge
l is the length between two charges

It will be

2qR/Ï€(i+j) ...(line joining charge -q and center of arc...)

no!! option (a) is correct...

i am not posting solution... Let her try...

yup its A.

skygirl ·

the thing is.... ur 'pi' is looking like 'n'..

dat is pi only toh ?

1
vector ·

yup me got the ans thanks :)

Priyam i am not getting it . Pls pls post the solution

kk...

just a sec...

dipole moment
=(2qdθ/π)r
=2qrdθ/π

=2qrdθ/π(cosθi+sinθj) ..(dipole moment is vector..)
integrating from 0 to pi/2

we get...ans

Abhishek Priyam ·

only thing u missed in ur solution was the point that it is a vector..

and u have to find it about a point...
