Q.

Two identical electric point dipoles have dipole moments P1=Pi^ and  P2=-Pi^ and are held on the x axis at distance 'a'  from each other.  When released, they move along the x-axis with the direction of their dipole moments remaining, unchanged.  If the mass of each dipole is  'm', their speed when they are infinitely far apart is:

Detailed Solution

Electric field at the location of 2nd dipole due to 1st dipole is  E1=14πo2Pa3i^
So potential energy is    U=-P2.E1 =14πo×2P2a3=P22πoa3
When they will be infinitely far apart U= 0 and if final speed of each dipole is v  , then kinetic energy is  12mv2+12mv2=mv2
  Using conservation of energy: Kf-Ki=Ui-Uf mv2=P22πoa3 v=Pa×12πoma
