16. From the figure below it is clear that the net electric field at point Ppoints in the
ˆ
j direction. Its
magnitude is
Enet
=2E1sin θ=2
kq
(d/2)2+r2d/2
(d/2)2+r2
=kqd
[(d/2)2+r2]3/2
where we use kfor 1/4πε0for brevity. For rd,wewrite[(d/2)2+r2]3/2r3so the expression above
reduces to
Enet
kqd
r3.
Since p =(qd)ˆ

Enet ≈−kp
