The Electric Field of a Dipole
The dipole-moment magnitude p = qs determines the electric field strength. The SI units of the dipole moment are C m.
The electric field at a point on the axis of a dipole isThe Electric Field of a Dipole
where r is the distance measured from the center of the dipole.The electric field in the plane that bisects and is perpendicular to the dipole is
This field is opposite to the dipole direction, and it is only half the strength of the on-axis field at the same distance.

The on-axis electric field of a charged disk of radius R, centered on the origin with axis parallel to z, and surface charge density η = Q/πR2 is
A Disk of Charge
NOTE: This expression is only valid for z > 0. The field for z < 0 has the same magnitude but points in the opposite direction.NOTE 2: The formula reduces to a plane of charge relationship at R>>z
A Plane of ChargeThe electric field of an infinite plane of charge with surface charge density η is:
For a positively charged plane, with η > 0, the electric field points away from the plane on both sides of the plane.For a negatively charged plane, with η < 0, the electric field points towards the plane on both sides of the plane.
Formula above can be derived from charge disk formula, see page 830.
The Parallel-Plate Capacitor• The figure shows two electrodes, one with charge +Q and the other with –Q placed face-to-face a distance d apart. • This arrangement of two electrodes, charged equally but oppositely, is called a parallel-plate capacitor. • Capacitors play important roles in many electric circuits.
The electric field inside a capacitor is
where A is the surface area of each electrode. Outside the capacitor plates, where E+ and E– have equal magnitudes but opposite directions, the electric field is zero.
The Parallel-Plate Capacitor
Use two infinite size disks to create the relationship for a capacitor. If z <<R, second fraction reduces to 0. Since there are 2 disks, then formula is doubled.
