Please Solve only ( ii )
(b) A nanowire has a density of charge p distributed along the x axis, which is
described as follows:
p= -e at x = 0
p= 32x for a<x< b
where 2, a and b are positive constants.
(i) Derive an expression for the electrical dipole moment as a function of 1, a and b.
(ii) Supposing that the nanowire is free to rotate in all the directions, explain how the
average electrical dipole moment would depend on temperature, under the influence
of a small applied electrical field.
