An electric dipole is combination of two equal and opposite charge separated by a distance d.So they always consist of equal magnitude because they are defined like that
(+) ------- 2(-) ------- (+). If you are talking about this configuration then yea,the net dipole moment will be equal to zero if this follows the condition for dipole. Iju
@Floris What I don't understand is why does applying force on the upper block causes same acceleration in the lower block......Do these blocks act as a system or something
Okay that explains it for the point A but what about the point C.Because of the impulse,the rod will start rotating so what will be cause of the impulse at C and it's direction to be right? Sry for dragging this too long
The impulse at B is equivalent to an impulse (to the right) at C and an anti-clockwise torque about C. What does torque have to do with impulse...My above question was imo based on this
Can you tell me the reason for the impulse by the pivot..why is it present and even at the centre also as shown in the diagram above??Also How can we use B as a reference point when it has a torque acting along it's axis
