(EM Griffiths) Problem 2.2 (b)

Question
Report part(a), only this time make the right hand charge -q instead of +q. 

Answer
As we can easily conclude from the diagram, vertical components here cancel each other, only surviving components are horizontals. Consider this two dimensional problem is confined in the z-x plane.

So the horizontal resultant force field along x-axis is, 

$E_x = 2q sin\theta/4\pi\epsilon_0 r^2$

From the diagram,
$sin\theta = d/2r $
and $r = \sqrt{z^2 + (d/2)^2}$

Therefore net force field is as follows, 
 $E = qd\hat{x}/4\pi\epsilon_0 (z^2 + (d/2)^2)^{3/2}$

For z>> d the field goes like, 
$E = qd\hat{x}/4\pi\epsilon_0 z^3$
This is as we know is the field of a dipole.
