Ch-01 Electric Charges & Fields: Lect-10

The document discusses electric dipoles and the electric field due to a dipole. It defines an electric dipole as a system of two equal and opposite point charges separated by a small distance. It provides examples of calculating the dipole moment for different charge configurations. It also describes the electric field on the axis and equatorial plane of a dipole, noting the field is stronger on the axis. Finally, it gives the general expression for the electric field at any point due to a short dipole and examples of problems calculating field direction and magnitude.
