Dos cargas puntuales de igual magnitud están localizadas a lo largo del eje de las y a
 iguales distancias por encima y por debajo del eje de las x, como se muestra en la
 figura


The image shows two point charges \( Q \) placed symmetrically along the y-axis. One charge \( Q > 0 \) is positioned at \( (0, a) \), and the other charge \( Q < 0 \) is positioned at \( (0, -a) \), where \( a \) is a positive distance from the origin.

This type of setup is commonly used to explore the concept of **electric dipoles** or similar electrostatic problems, where you calculate:

1. **Electric field** at various points in space (e.g., along the x-axis).
2. **Electric potential** at a given point due to the charges.
3. **Force** between the charges or the force on a test charge placed in this field.
4. **Dipole moment**, which for two charges of equal magnitude \( Q \) separated by a distance \( 2a \), is defined as \( p = Q \cdot 2a \).

If you'd like to explore specific questions or calculations related to this charge configuration, please let me know!

Would you like to dive into any of these topics?

Here are five possible follow-up questions:
1. How do you calculate the electric field at any point on the x-axis due to these two charges?
2. What is the potential at a point on the x-axis due to the charges?
3. How can the electric dipole moment be calculated for this setup?
4. What is the force on a third charge placed at a point on the x-axis?
5. How does the electric field behave at a far distance from the charges (i.e., in the limit \( r \to \infty \))?

**Tip:** When dealing with symmetric charge configurations, take advantage of symmetry to simplify your calculations!
