The dipole moment is the product of the two, $Qd$. -The charge experienced by a positive test charge along the dipole line can be reduced to: +The charge experienced by a positive test charge along the dipole line can be reduced to as the ratio between the two charges decreases to the point that they are basically zero: $$\vec F_q=\hat x\frac{2kQdq}{||\vec x||^3}$$ -### Maxwell's theorems +## Maxwell's theorems Compared to Coulomb's law, $Q_1$ creates an electric field around itself — each point in space is assigned a vector that depends on the distance away from the charge. $Q_2$ *interacts* with the field. According to Maxwell, as a charge moves, it emits a wave that carries information to other charges. -The **electric field strength** $\vec E$ is the force per unit *positive* charge at a specific point: +The **electric field strength** $\vec E$ is the force per unit *positive* charge at a specific point $p$: -$$\vec E=\frac{\vec{F}}{q}$$ +$$\vec E_p=\lim_{q\to 0}\frac{\vec{F}}{q}$$ + +Please see [SL Physics 1#Electric potential](/sph3u7/#electric-potential) for more information.
