Is the force holding the electrons into their atomic orbits in an individual atom basically the same as the force that hold the sun's planets in their orbits? Why or why not?
A) Yes; it is the force of gravity in both cases. B) Yes; it is the centrifugal force in both cases. C) No; the sun's energy source is nuclear fusion, and fusion does not occur within individual atoms.

Electric Field of Point-Charges: An electric dipole consists of charges of ±6.00 µC that are 10.0 cm apart, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this dipole produces at point P, which is 7.00 cm from each charge. (k = 1/4??0 = 8.99 × 109 N ? m2/C2)
