Sub Topic Code : 101_12_01_11_02 |
Topic Name : Electric Dipole |
|
Sub Topic Name : The Field Of An Electric Dipole |
|
Introduction
There exists a electric field, for a dipole at every point around the dipole.
Pre-Requisites:
Basic knowledge of Electric Dipole
Activity:
Find the direction of the field at any point at the dipole axis.
Real Life Question:
Why it is easier to calculate the field at the point on dipole axis rather than at any position?
Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Equatorial plane | A plane passing through the center of the dipole and perpendicular to the dipole axis. |
Learning aids / Gadgets
| Gadgets | How it can be used |
|---|---|
| Text book | You can learn about this more from the text book. |
Real life uses :
To determine the polarity and nature on any molecule.
Places to visit :
Your physics lab, you can also refer your text book.
Practical examples around us
| Examples | Explainations |
|---|---|
| Different molecules | In chemistry molecules uses this concept of electric dipole. |
What you learn in Theory:
Electric field around the dipole can be found by two ways
What you learn in Practice:
generally field is the result due to the coulomb's law and the superposition principal. Field exists on every point around dipole.
