Write the formulas for the electric field due to an electric dipole and the magnetic field due to a current-carrying loop at a point on their respective equatorial (bisector) lines at a distance $x$.

An electric dipole is kept on the axis of a uniformly charged ring at a distance of $R/\sqrt{2}$ from the center of the ring. The direction of the dipole moment is along the axis. The dipole moment is $P$,the charge of the ring is $Q$,and the radius of the ring is $R$. The force on the dipole is nearly:

$A$ system has two charges $q_{A} = 2.5 \times 10^{-7} \; C$ and $q_{B} = -2.5 \times 10^{-7} \; C$ located at points $A: (0, 0, -15 \; cm)$ and $B: (0, 0, +15 \; cm)$,respectively. What are the total charge and electric dipole moment of the system?
