Two large parallel conducting plates are 17 cm apart and have charges of equal magnitude and opposite sign on their facing surfaces. an electrostatic force of 2.9 ✕ 10-15 n acts on an electron placed anywhere between the two plate (neglect fringing). (a) find the electric field at the position of the electron.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
